One of mine fell off too. I can press down with my pinky . It's nice, I'm not replacing it. But when the engine isn't running the pump acts a little different since the gov isn't spinning, I would just make sure it doesn't stick when it's running.

if you're mechanically inclined maybe you can do this,if not,please seek a mechanic if problem still exists. 1st with car off and in park w/motor OFF. pull and push gas pedal up and down with your hand. feel resistance from pedal?nothing blocking the pedal at floor? next open hood. in park,with engine off, follow gas linkage with your hand, when you reach the accelerator,move it by turning it with your hand, spray it with wd40,if this does'nt improve the sticking,you may have a burr in the wire inside the fuel cable,simply put,it will need to be replaced and not safe to operate on the road, it's not really complicated repair but you can be helped through it with directions. if not mechanically inclined, don't recomennd you try it though. hope this helps you
