He pulled the gas cable? How did this work?


Pretty simple. All the pedal itself does is move the cable. The other end is connected onto the throttle which is basically a valve that cuts off air to the engine. When the pedal is pressed the throttle body opens allowing more air in. 

By pulling the wire by hand you are opening the valve still but you will have very little control.

You are just pulling a lever to open this by hand.
