What exactly did you remove?
If you messed with the fast idle thermowax, did you remove the fast idle cam too?

If you removed the UIM, there's a good chance the throttle cable got twisted.
If this is the case, you can remove the throttle cable by itself and get it untwisted.
To do this, it helps to have a helper in the car.
Once you remove the throttle cable, pull on one end.
Have your helper step on the gas pedal slowly.
This will cause the end to retract.
Do this several times and the cable should untwist itself.
Once the cable is untwisted, then put back the cable onto the TB as carefully as possible without twisting the end.
