what happens when you go WOT?
what happens to our cars when we go from partial throttle to WOT? how about from 0% throttle to WOT? the answer im looking for is like what does the computer do, what do sensors and valves do...

looking at your question I think you need to stop over at howstuffworks.com they will give you basic idea of an engine works not to mention some nice animated diagrams. This is a better approach instead asking a bunch of dumbass maxima drivers. This doesn't sound like a maxima specific question.
