I'm still thinking two things, broken or disconnected throttle return
springs or that CC cable still connected. Also, if your mechanic
disconnected the cruise cable ONLY at the servo end but left it
connected at the throttle body that could cause problems too because
it means there is nothing pulling that cable back "off" anymore so the
still connected end at the throttle body could be swiveling around and
flopping around and hitting things down under the air cleaner where
you can't see it.
