I pulled out of the driveway on morning pushed on the gas and nothing happened. The spring on the gas pedal is fine i just can't find where the throttle cable attaches

First you will want to check and clean the throttle body and replace any and or clean sensors. The MAF sensor may need to be replaced as well. sometimes a partial fix.. Disconnect the air sensor and it may start easier. Check all vacuum hoses for splits/cracks and loose connections. Replace Throttle body gasket, check or replace cap, rotor and wires if not done in the last 2 years.
Try and get someone to push down hard on the hood while you pull the lever, also work the lever in and out, can you see if the metal ring on the wire/ cable is moving back and forth? also does it feel very loose or very tight to pull?
Pull codes from OBD computer go from there. Could be other problems, check fuel pressure, All electrical connectors- loose, water, dirty, ground connections, etc. Could be a failing sensor. How do you know its missfiring on 3-4? one or two cylinders would be a really bad shake. Creek is to deep stay out of creek. Good luck!
the gas pedal is connected by a cable that goes to the throttle body or carburetor on the engine. there should be a nut that holds the cable end in place where the steel cable comes out of the housing near the throttle body. it sounds like this may be loose or stripped out. you may need to replace the entire throttle cable.
In most cases with Toyota they will only go in one way and are not adjustable. High idle is a sign of a possible vacuum leak or incorrectly adjusted throttle cables
it sounds like you are not bleeding in the right sequence around the truck and also the vehicle has to be level. but start at the RR,LR,RF,LF and also make sure the push rod for the master cylynder is actually engaging.
Hi if the cable is moving freely than it will be either the throttle body jammed or the throttle pedal has ceased, also check nothing has got jammed behind or above the pedal, hope this helps
