That means your entire engine is bad. The gas pedal should not go completely down without at least 400 lbs of force. It shouldnt budge to anything less than the hardest kicks.
Honestly though, you can easily fix that. Just cut the throttle cable about 3 inches down from the throttle body and reattach the pieces together. It will make the cable tighter but it will also make the pedal a bit more stiff.
