Put the throttle back on.

Seriously though, recheck your work. Something is not connected properly, or you are shorted to ground somewhere.

yeah checked it all several time, I figured it must be a short some where but have no idea where to look. all the wires for the controls and TBW are new. the engine lit is on and the cruise control light is flashing. checked all the fuse and all were good. everything works but the throttle.

Did you lengthen the wires on the throttle by chance. I believe you have canbus on that, and you cannot simply lengthen the wires.
