What I figured. There is no mechanical linkage from the throttles themselves to the fuel flow controller.
I ran into that problem with my Saab 9000. Damn throttle computer fried and cost $1000 to be replaced and right after that the second computer that manages accelerator pedal input died too. That was another $800.
