Well I'll have to make a wild guess that this is a 79 accord.
If the throttle plate is working by hand okay..I'd suspect the throttle cable is bad.
You can try unhooking the throttle cable end and have some one push the gas pedal down while you hold the cable end and 'feel' for rough spots.

92ish accords tend to wear out the throttle cables quicker than most. If it feels like the cable is rubbing (you can feel it through the gas pedal) If that's the case you need to replace the cable. It's not too hard to do if you have a little bit of mechanical ability.
