Default Engine question

on the 84' crossfire engine, there is a throttle cable coming out of the engine block, and whenever you press the gas the cable does a reverse bike brake action (like the gas pedal pushes it out)

anyone know what this would be?

that's what i'm trying figure out lol, since it's coming out from on top of the engine block and connected to the throttle, and injectors (i think)... it's hard to see with taking the engine a part which i'm not for right now lol
