probably means it's worn out.  You can try bending the metal prongs of the holder a bit but the real fix is a new accelerator cable.  Check that your engine mounts are OK too, if they're worn then the engine can drop a bit and this grommet keeps popping out.  Also check that the metal holder isnt bent.

I believe G accelerator cables are obsolete too.
