Default Help!!! possible broken throttle cable.

so i was moving my ek sedan yesterday, just to a different spot in the driveway, and the gas pedal went straight to the floor.. i got under there and the little white clip came, off i put it back on, the problem is there is wayyyy to much slack on both sides. and if i pull the cable it will not give the car any gas, but it doesnt move it on both sides, so im guessing its not a broken cable. it has something to do with the cable/pedal assembly. i dont have a manual just bought the car 4 days ago. i need a diagram, or someone else that had a similar problem, or just knows thanks!!!

Take it off and check other than having to get in a funny position to get under the dash it is very simple to remove. The black piece that comes threw the firewall on the motor side unscrews to be able to pull out
