The throttle body is the part of the air intake system that controls the amount of air flowing into the engine, in response to driver input. While the accelerator is often called a "gas pedal", it would be more accurate to describe it as an "air pedal".
Typically a throttle body is somewhat analogous to the carburetor in a non-injected engine. Carburetors combine the functionality of the throttle body and the fuel injectors into one, that is, to modulate the amount of air flow, and to combine air and gas together.

The throttle body is the new version of a carb. It's for the fuel injection. Some people will put a larger throttle body on their vehicle for better performance. Kinda like changing the carb out on an old muscle car. The newer vehicles have a direct injection systems which pushes the fuel straight into heads for a better burn, horsepower and MPG

The throttle body is what transfers you hitting the gas pedel into the engine reving up and going.
