Accelerator Pedal not in Up Position

[SuperG]

I had an EGR code...removed the TB, cleaned the ports...etc. Everything put back together, engine started right up (in fact it's never started that quickly). I also pushed the throttle linkage with my thumb...no problem. Well...the accelerator pedal is just sitting on the floor! I can pick the pedal up (it's still on the metal arm) and then it drops right back to the floor, as if there is no spring. Well, I cannot find any kind of a spring...

Thanks for any help!

Um...try hooking the accelerator cable back up to the TB.

It's on...

There should be two cables that hook up, one for the cruise control which is a plastic clip on and one for the pedal which is a "hook & loop" style.

Yep...I wonder if something else has come off. For example, as the cable runs from the TB it heads down into a round, metal half cylinder, which is connected to a box...I have no idea what that is, and right now I cannot follow it further because I have a baby in my arms (wife left to go biking) - Oh, I hate these interruptions!

Oh for the love of Pete! SloSho, you should have told me to look CLOSELY at the throttle cable (see, I need guidance!). After I went back out there, I found the throttle cable came unhinged! But the angle I was looking down on te engine amde it look like it was still there!

Oh well...now if I could just get that stupid CE light to shut off!
