The Fiero uses a cable, not a bar, to control the throttle valve - the cable may be misajusted from streching over time, or just plain broken. Driving with a loose or broken TV(kickdown) cable puts a strain on the engine and transmission - you should consider parking the car untill you can fix it or have it looked at by a qualified repair shop.
A second possible, but unlikley cause for the same problem is a problem with the valve itself... this would mean rebuilding the transmission.
