repair or replace gas pedal

I have a '89 Buick LeSabre custom...the problem is the gas pedal has dropped to
the floor and does not seem to connect to the throttle body. I can move the pedal
up and down by hand--but there is no action on the throttle at all. I assume there
must be a spring or connection somewhere that has come loose.
this is my only form on transportation...Help Please
Thanks for Your help

MD Allison

Possibly the cable broke although unlikely. But with that age I wouldn't rule it out. Most likely a linkage clip came off at the throttle body. (under the air cleaner).

Re: repair or replace gas pedal

Hey Thanks so much Y'all...
yea, i do believe it is the broken cable thing--
i tried to remove the gas pedal; but haven't
had any luck.
I think i have something to tell the mechanic
at any rate, so I can get some idea of cost.
Again...
Thanks so much
many blessings
MD
