This happened to me once and it turned out that I had somehow slid the cable off of the cam at the throttle body. I know you said you went over it, but if you were messing around in the power steering reservoir area, it would be worth double checking.

You'd think that I would have had a slack pedal, but I had the same symptoms you describe. It was years ago, so I don't remember if the cable also got snagged on something or what, but it was definitely at the throttle body.
