Lets start with a quote:

"Replace that thing! I had a student at last weekends auto-x whose gas pedal was wobbling all over. The pedal would deflect, causing the accelerator linkage to either stick full throttle or come off completely from the ball linkage.

HOWEVER, this morning my gas pedal went to the FLOOR and the car seems to be stuck FULL THROTTLE....
Now, I have to work all day, but I have the weekend...and if anyone can point me towards some sort of 'fix it' instructions, or 'find out' whats wrong examples..it would be greatly appreciated.

I pushed down, the pedal stayed down, the engine stayed full throttle, the pedal can be moved up and down and up and down, and well, crap! HELP please..

You know, this must be love because these cars can really make you emotional...or then again, perhaps it was suddenly flying through my neighborhood at 60 heading to 70 without any sign of slowing and swooping around all the little kids going to school was JUST LIKE A MOVIE...I turned on the radio and found some great 80s tune and was enjoying it...
NOT.
