I am just curious to know. Is it still the old fashioned cable pulling and opening the throttle or is it electronic/computer controlled?

I ask because I will need to understand and connect the throttle to the new mechanism as I convert my 986 to electric. Just thought of this and did not know, so am asking.

I will probably find out as we are disconnecting everything one by one to drop the engine but my curiosity is getting the better of me...
