Probably the TV cable linkage. It might have come off the throttle body, or the lever on the transmission might be seized or sticking

Don't drive the car till you have checked this. It can burn up your transmission in just a few miles. My old crown vic had it come loose on my ex. In the 1/2 drive back from the gas station, it permanently started slipping after.
