Not sure about electronic throttle control because I've never run across it.
Be careful with parts databases, both online and in parts stores. There's more errors in the modern databases versus old-fashion printed parts catalogs. Most companies are now hiring minimum wage workers who can run a keyboard but know little or nothing about motor vehicles. Making matters worse, they're told, "Just do your **** job," if they try to ask questions.
As a result, they just regurgitate what's handed to them, propagating and magnifying errors as they go.
In turn, many counter people rely heavily on the company's database system and just repeat the questions the computer asks.
I think the "electronic throttle control" question may be an example of this situation. Read this article on Chrysler Electronic Ignition.
I think someone, somewhere, got their 'wires' crossed and mixed up words, terminology, and concepts. (They could also be using altered terminology in a misguided attempt to avoid copyright/trademark infringement lawsuits.)
I think question refers to Chrysler's (problematic) Lean Burn system. Read this article (and accompanying sidebar.)
I will dig deeper, in part due to my personal curiosity.
