Issue with throttle cables. 200 1992

I have a 1992 240, the car has 170k miles on it. A day ago while i was driving to work i noticed my gas pedal had less resistance on it than normal. Being concerned I pulled over and took a peek under the hood. I looked at the throttle body and noticed 2 wires. 1 running on the top it was spooled around the circular track and locked into place. The second was intact, but not in track nor connected. I found that trying to thread the cable back over top on the availble track would cause it to rub pretty badly.

I found a way to connect it to provide temporary resistance but the cable doesn't retract and hangs loose, it sometimes gets caught on a bolt holding the throttle to the engine. I am basically trying to figure out how to get this fixed, and determine if it is dangerous to drive the car in it's present state.

I am also enclosing a picture with two parts highligted. 1) the bolt the piece gets hung up on. and 2) the wire in question.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
