hey, how does the part that attatches to the gas pedal detatch from the
throttle cable?

It doesn't...

It is part of the cable.

Eric, when this was happening to me it was a stiff cable which had bent
the
arm with the rivet head. Remove the cable clean and lube it, put a
little
bend back in the pedal end and it will be as good as new.
