Hi, my name is Dan.

Any chance that something was left unplugged?
Do you have any codes stored? Here is a guide that will help with this.

Sometimes you can have codes yet no check engine light on.
I've attached a picture of the connector for the throttle actuator. The yellow/violet wire is your power, the blue/green is the ground. Check for power and ground on both using this guide.
