Lightning bolt flashing on dash.
The red lightning bolt in the center of a venturi is the warning lamp for the drive by wire or electronic throttle.
To prevent a runaway engine.
Instead a sensor monitors the position of the pedal and that information is sent to the etc to make changes in engine speed.

The gas pedal is not mechanically connected to the engine.
Rough idle lightning bolt which kills the throttle will only idle to move vehicle.
