I had the very same problem on my van (gas pedal went flat with no
connection)... a L shaped rod attached to the pedal and hooked to the
mechanism thru the hole, My problem was the rod was unhook down there but
still attached to the pedal. From the inside I removed the rod, reattached
the mechanism and reattached the rod to the pedal. Later on I replaced the
whole mechanism down there.
Your problem may be different but here is a reference.
