Well, not really. In every internal combustion engine application that
I've ever been exposed to, you need some way to meter air and fuel into
the cylinders. Carburetion is one mechanism that combines both into one
unit. Fuel injection takes care of fuel metering; it's just a question
of where the injectors are mounted (throttle body injection == at the
throttle body; multi-port injection == somewhere right above the intake
valve). But you still have to meter the air; hence the remaining need
for a throttle body.
Now I suppose you could develop some cool total closed-loop system that
replaced the throttle body with an oxidizer injection system, but I doubt
it's worth the time and expense.
