Gas Pedal Rattle

My gas pedal rattles when I go over a bump (And my foot isn't on it.

I took a look, and it moves left/right a bit. However, I did not see a screw to tighten it down.

Is it there and I am just missing it?

There is a spring on the pedal that keeps it in position on the arm. The spring has a small horseshoe shaped end that locks it to the arm. Yours may have broken or become disengaged. It's worth a look.
