Default PLEASE HELP!!! 03 V6 Coupe 6spd won't idle!

I have a 2003 Accord V6 Coupe 6spd and it won't idle!!!
Once I start it, it runs normally then once I touch the gas it will shut off

I had the shop replace my exhaust rockers because they broke when I miss-shifted.
Now it runs/drives perfect but won't idle.

What could be wrong guys?!?!?

Get any check-engine lights?

My first ignorant idea is an electrical problem since your throttlebody is motorized & controlled by the ECM.

It's electronic throttle. I'm sure they started in 03

My 2003 4-cyl 5-spd has a normal cable, but I looked on Majestic's parts drawings for the V-6. Honda started doing that in the general 2003-2005 area, not all cars at the same time.

To be more specific. The car shuts off once I touch the gas.
