Need throttle pedal cable.. which part is it?

Can someone tell me which part exactly is the cable that connects to the pedal? Not the Throttle Valve (TV) cable.. My TV cable is nice and tight at WOT. (it doesn't matter if it's loose at no throttle right?)

However my pedal has a little lag from when you press it, to when it starts to rev. It works fine, I have replaced the TPS and cleaned the throttle body. It's not the transmission slipping. It's just a slight lag from when you press the pedal down, to when it starts to actually rev. You can tell the cable is loose when I watch when someone presses the pedal.

I've read you can't adjust this cable like the TV cable, only buy a new one. So I'm on rockauto looking for the part.. but I'm not sure what part it's called:

Is it the "Detent Cable"? Also what is the "Shift cable"? It seems to be different than the TV cable, and also it seems to be different than the Shifter cable.. Or maybe that's just because I have a B&M shifter and not a stock one.

The throttle or accelerator cable comes to mind

Thanks.. I was on a mobile device and the search wasn't working. Didn't expect it to be under "Body - Interior"
