METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING A THROTTLE VALVE OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

Method of controlling a throttle valve of an internal combustion engine, the valve comprising an electric actuator for controlling a position of a shutter and a position sensor for detecting a position of the shutter, the method comprising a step of controlling said actuator with a control signal (Volt_act) proportional to a signal representing a position error (e_pos) when an absolute value of the position error is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold (e_s) and proportional to a signal representing a speed error (e_vel) when the absolute value of the position error is greater than said predetermined threshold (e_s).
