as i was driving my gas pedal went flat and wouldn't accelerate when i pushed on it. i pulled over to find that the the piece holding the throttle cable was broken and fell off. i have no idea what the piece is called. it is the piece on the top right of the picture (the gold thing) it fell off and i am assuming something broke. at the end of it it looks like a bolt with nothing holding the piece on. i am sorry for the bad description..

here is a pic...(not mine, sorry for stealing it if it belongs to you..)

 

check your throttle cable bracket or even your gas pedal underneath your dash...maybe it just wiggled its way out of there

prolly broke your throttle cable bracket. if there is too much tension on them it can break them or if the bolts were loose.

 

that's the throttle rotor.did you lose the piece when it came off?
BTW-did anybody actually read the post?!

the throttle rotor is the gold piece right? if it is, then it is still there but it came off of the bolt that it was on. i am assuming that there was another piece on the bolt that must have falllen off or broken? but not sure what itis called.

 

found this picture.....

it is the piece in the middle throttle rotor that broke off (like the tip of it). any idea what that is called or part # ? thanks

it's held on by a nut and lock washer.that's what came off and allowed the rotor to fall off.
