    Sounds like you shouldn't work on your car. j/k, I don't know what the hell you could have done.

    hard to tell you on something like that without seeing it, sounds like a return spring on the shaft is missing or out of position

    On the secondary shaft, was there a clock spring under the linkage? something has to return it to closed if the primary linkage isn't
    The secondary shaft is not supposed to move as soon as you move the throttle, it is supposed to move about mid way through the travel of the primary linkage.
