Here's why:
* Governor Springs and Throttle Plates: Governor springs are typically used in mechanical fuel injection systems to control fuel delivery based on engine speed. They are not directly connected to the throttle plate.
* Idle Position: The throttle plate's position at idle (when the engine is not accelerating) is controlled by the idle speed screw or a similar mechanism.
* Engine Off: When the engine is off, the throttle plate is usually held in a closed position by the return spring on the throttle linkage.
Let me know if you have any other questions about engines or automotive systems.
