I would suggest that the reason the cable broke use that table was seized in the first place.To see if this is the case disconnect the cable at both ends and try to move backward and forward manually. If you are able to move the table at all then I would suggest getting either a new cable or one from the auto wreckers.unfortunately the only way that you can unsieze a seized table involves many hours of lubricating the old cable by shaking it in a solution of diesel or some sort of rust penetrator.Regards

I looked at info for non-hybrid. If there is a throttle cable, get at the throttle body under the hood, take the throttle cable loose, work the lever, see if moves freely? My info says throttle bore and plate has a special coating, it says not to clean it. You could lube throttle pedal linkages, see if it helps? You could use wd 40 in the throttle cable housing, from under the hood, see if helps. You might use a carpet cover in case of drips.
I don't know if tune-up had anything to do with these other problems?
The spring or wire that connects your pedal to the throttle body may broken or damaged. Check under your hood and look at the throttle body (it's the carburetor looking thing). There should be a steel wire connected to it coming from the back of the engine bay. It should connect on the side where you'll see a few springs. If nothing looks broken there, turn the part of the throttle body connected to the spring and wire. If it revs up when you move it, then the cable could be broken somewhere between there and the gas pedal.
Alternatively, the linkage on the pedal could have been disconnected some how. Check behind and above the gas pedal to see if eveything is connected properly.
There should be an adjuster under the hood where cable hooks into the bracket that will give you a little bit better feel but usually when those cables get stretched its best to just replace the throttle cable.
ok under the hood on your throttle body there is 2 sets of cables attaching to it the one closest to the throttle body connects to you gas pedal and the one next to that connects to your cruise chances are that it popped off or the cable broke chase the cable back to the control box if there is no breakage then you main cont box went out and should be replaced to locate you throttle body follow the tube from your air cleaner that tube connects the throttle body the cables are right next to that

Find a pickup the same year and model. With this hood open, Take a coat hanger and bend the hanger to the correct shape to snake into your pickup and hook onto the hood latch. Practice a little on the hood open, partial closed etc until you are comfortable snaking this into the latch. InMrFixIt
