Default 92 Si, LS swap misfiring, stalled, wont start, no pressure on gas pedal(video inside)

So yesterday driving on the highway it misfired then stalled. Did this a few times and then just started driving normal again till now. It did the same thing but now it won't start again and I have no feel or pressure on my gas pedal, it's just loose.

Waiting on YouTube for the video upload

throttle cable

Check it from pedal to throttle body

Not the throttle cable, the pedal feel is probably a misconception by me. Came back after an hour and it started up, drove 5 feet and it stumbled and stalled. There was a smell of gas so it is flooding.

sounds at first like timing jumped, dependent on how.it.ran when it restarted.

I drove it over 30 miles since it stalled yesterday and it ran fine until a couple hours ago

I had a problem similar to this on a prelude. The car ran like sh*t and finally stalled and would not restart. Then the gas pedal lost "feel". Ended up being bad engine grounds and when we turned the key to try and restart the engine, the throttle cable "welded" itself to the inner case of the throttle case assembly because the starter was trying to ground through the only way it could - through the throttle cable.

^If thats whats happening to you, unstick or disconnect the throttle cable before you start the engine after fixing the grounds cuz most likely the throttle will be stuck wide open
