Yeah, it is injected and yes there is a throttle body! This may be the lame-
man's way but this is how I think of it. Since its fuel injected and computer
controlled, your "throttle cable" attached to your pedal controls air intake
which tiggers the next inline sensors. One being the throttle positioning
sensor which in turn relays the message to the computer, which then knows how
much fuel to send into the injectors. All this apose to the throttle cable of
the carbs.
Does this help??
