Yeah just looke 'behind' the throttle body, its a cable that wraps around a half disk shaped circle that rotates the throttle plates. Theres a few things that could have gone. The metal piece where you tighten the cable could have snapped off. The cable itself is broken. The spring in the TB failed (very unlikely). Or the tip of the cable came out of the holder for the TB.
Just check it out, im sure you'll find it.
