I have a 2008 GT that I took the intake off because there was a puddle of oil inside. I took the cmcv plates off and cleaned them too. I put the car back together and now it idles very rough and the gas pedal wont work. I am getting codes that the throttle control actuator is stuck and forced idle but the throttle blades open just fine by hand. I replaced the TPS and the throttle control motor and it still wont run. I am wondering if the cmcv motor may be bad?

I'm not trying to be a smartass but have you looked over the TPS and TB motor connections? There is a connector on both sides of the TB.

If those are good you may need to do the throttle relearn procedure.

Here's the reset procedure.

"Turn the key to the on position but DON'T start the engine. Now press the gas peddle to the floor SLOWLY and let it come up/back as fast as you can, turn key to the off position. Now do this two more times."

Btw, is your code a p2106?

Turns out the throttle blades weren't sitting in the shaft properly so it wasn't closing completely and depressing the plunger on the idle screw.
