Note that the mechanical assembly path for the intake is air cleaner - airflow meter - throttle body - intake manifold - intake port. The large plate in the airflow meter is in no way linked to the throttle - it moves as the engine demand for more airflow causes it to move, and the throttle plate position is only one factor.
