If you are talking a diesel you are correct. On gasoline engines
both
air and fuel must be regulated TOGETHER. Either fuel is shut OFF or
the throttle (air control) needs to be closed in concert with the
reduced fuel flow.

They have to be regulated together *under normal conditions* in
order to maintain emission standards. That obviously isn't important
in an emergency. Reduce the fuel flow to a trickle, and the engine
*will* slow down, regardless of what happens to the airflow. Under
runaway acceleration, the primary consideration -- indeed, the only
consideration -- is the need to get the car stopped. Any damage that
may or may not occur to the engine or the cat is of comparatively
little importance.

OK,now tell us HOW you propose to "reduce fuel flow" other than adding
more code to the existing computer programming,which you deny
advocating.

The only point under discussion in *this* subthread is whether it's
necessary to stop, or merely reduce, the flow of fuel in order to stop
runaway acceleration.

Do try to keep up.

IOW,you CAN'T.
I've noted that you avoided answering the same question in my other posts.
