Pedal went to the floor and did not return. Removed carpet to be sure it was not hanging up. Disconnected pedal from linkage and there is no resistance in the mechanism. Where to start? Pedal cluster? Accelerator cable? Other? Novice at best when it comes to mechanical experience.

Check to see if the throttle cable came out or your missing a spring. The natural resilience of the rubber is not enough to return on it's own.

To what spring are you referring? My Haynes does not show a return spring in the pedal cluster (p72, fig 4-10) and I did not see any at the engine. Will post some photos in a bit.
