The TV cable will not hold the throttle open. Must be a problem with the throttle cable. What engine is it? The 2.2 can do it with the cables reversed, when you try and step on the pedal does it open the throttle? I know it sounds silly. With the 3.1 I have seen a bent cable bracket do it. May have bent the bracket when it was off, i have done that once. no idea why but it was bent slightly when i put one together.
