I had my cruise control set about 65 on the highway. When I braked to slow down the cruise shut off and in doing so my acclelerator became disconnected from the engine. The engine continued to run but wwhen i pressed on the accelerator there was nothing. I coasted off the highway safely. It was like the accelerator had become disconnected from the rest of the engine. What happened?

It sounds like your throttle cable simply came loose. Is the accel working now? Seems like a simple fix.
