Sounds like your drive-by-wire is not working properly. If you look above the gas pedal under the dash you will see the actual "sensor" that tells the DME how much throttle is required by the driver. I have read online about people disassembling this part to clean it & make it function again. You might try vacuming it 1st before disassembly. Search internet for more info. I've never done this personally.

Since you were working on the AOS, any chance you loosened or damaged the connector or wiring for the throttle motor?
