Default 7th Gen V6 throttle lever location

I'm just trying to pinpoint the throttle lever so I can turn it by hand while I'm under the hood. Can anyone tell me if this is even possible with his model accord?

The throttle cables run into the throttle body housing leaving nothing external for me pull. Am I just out of luck?

I think that your throttle is drive by wire, so the throttle is driven by an electric motor. I don't know the V6 as well, but my drive by wire has a throttle cable going to an accelerator position sensor. You might be able to push/pull on that sensor to rev the engine.

Thanks for the help. I wasn't familiar with drive by wire. Well for anyone else that stumbles upon this, it's not possible because of all the sensors invovled. At least not without some expensive tool that Honda techs probably use for such purposes. Easier to just find someone to help step on the pedal.
