APPS cleaned and wont start

Hi Folks
My throttle response was shaky and hunting for OD so I dropped off the truck at my mechanic friend's shop. I sent him the DTR instructions for cleaning the APPS. Sad to say he called back and after cleaning the APPS there is no throttle response. He claims to have re calibrated it according to the instructions but no dice. He said it threw a code but he cleared it and cant remember it. Any help to get her running is appreciated. I turned up the Timbro thread and emailed him for an APPS replacement. but I need the truck back ASAP. Thanks
