stuck in the middle of no where P1516

I was on the throttle quite a bit on a hilly road and the car shut down with the DIC saying engine disabled.. plugged my scanner in and have P1516 throttle actuator control module position performance...I checked the plug on the TB and it seems like its plugged in all the way....any ideas??? I'm stuck on the side of the road in the middle of no where......

Having whatever you plug the holes with come loose has always been a concern for me and that's why I left mine open. Your lucky it didn't get pulled into the engine and really cause problems

Whatever you guys are plugging the SC holes with will get stopped by the laminovas for the intercooler in the intake.

Don't count on it. There is open space that goes all the way through the intake mani (in other words the hunk of whatever can go right around the outside of the laminovas and into the engine).

ya, I was really worried when I did this, my friend has a m62 swapped 2.4 ion and used metal weld. His has lasted 2 years so far.. Thats why I opted for welding a bigger piece of flat stock in, I made it big enough where it couldnt fit into the valves....
