All the pedal does directly is pull the throttle plate open (and on
our automatics, inform the transmission via the lever with the joint
that can get sticky and cause the throttle to stick wide open).  ECU
takes in data from AFM, T-I, T-II, rpm, throttle switch to decide
when and how much fuel to administer.

You bet.  Crank it long enough without starting and it will
flood.  Cold, anyway.  Not sure about hot.  Holding the pedal down
will help clear it out in my experience.
