To start with, let me confess that I am a novice to cars. This in fact is my first car.
The car guzzles fuel. About 50 litres for 100 miles. I am not exaggerating. One technician told me that there is a switch that controls fuel intake and that mine is bad and disconnected.
I actually confirmed that a previous technician removed a three pin plug. There are 2 pins connected to this device that are just dangling in the bonnet now. One is four pin, the other is 3 pin.
This device is what the wire coming from the accelerator is connected to.
My question is: What is the function of this device and what can be done to my car to make it stop this madness.
All the sensors.the cold in your engine/vehicle are important none of them to be disconect even temporaily the cold hot sensor sending unit read the temperature of the engine and send the information to the computer ....engine cold ...moore fuel, engine hot less fuel please plug in all the plugs and you wiil see best results

I am amazed at the speed of your response. I am definitely going to refer my friends to this site.
I am thinking of taking shots of the condition of the car now and sending it to you.
Please, reply if you think this is appropriate. However, I will need a e-mail box I can send it to.
I have created an e-mail address in Yahoo! The account is [email protected] and the pwd is fixya123. I have taken those pictures and they have been sent to that address.
Kindly take a look at the pictures to see how the part is currently connected. You will notice that 2 pins are unplugged. You will also see some pictures of the part I bought to replace the one in the car. My technician said that one is not the match for it.
I need ur advice to know how to proceed.
Send the pictures to [email protected]
I looked at the yahoo address that you provided, but the pictures do not open.
I would really like to see your pictures.
Unfortunatly, we experts here do not post our e-mail address, the info we provide is open to the masses, all of our communication is thru FixYa.
Post up your e-mail address, and I will contact you.
Get the pictures taken. Thanks.
You have a host of issues. The wire disconnected form the accelerator is the throttle position sensor; this tells the computer where your foot is on the gas pedal. This needs to be hooked up. Additionally, it sounds like your Oxygen sensor(s) may be disconnected. If you want maximum fuel mileage, these too need to be hooked up. Best advice: Get yourself a better mechanic. No good mechanic would allow your car to drive around with this stuff disconnected. Please get back to me if you need more info.
