Throttle plate delete?

Hellou.

About the throttle plate, the butterfly valve...
I've found some mixed info about this, that it would increase FE or something.

It controls the airflow going in. but does it control the fuel/air ratio? Or if i delete it, then the ECU has no option but to lower the fuel flow, therefor slowing the car down?

And i'm talking about petrol engine

So what are your thoughts about this?

EDIT: I read a little more, and found out that if it's deleted, the idle would be enormous
But, if i play with the TPS signal, i could adjust the air/fuel ratio?
