There is another possibility, although you said you are able to use the foot feed. When the motor is removed the throttle linkage can get mangled, specifically, the assembly
bolted to the flywheel housing.
You would need a complete, correct assembly to compare to yours.

The car does have a rug so that does pose a bit of a problem with using a big block of wood on the floor. I think the problem that we’re having with the footrest is that we’re both tall, have big feet, and it’s a coupe. You are limited as to how much you can roll your foot when your knee is jammed in between the steering column and the shifter. It’s easiest to just use your toe on the pedal button but that obviously makes it more difficult to be smooth.
