I have fixed this problem, (run away), for someone that did the same thing. There is no reason to remove the rack limiter. You can make chunks of coal fall out the tail pipe without even maxing out the limiter if the correct adjustments are made.

Here is the bad part. There is no way I can describe what you need to look for, and how to get it where it needs to be. What happened on the one that was towed to me, was in the process of fishing around in the governor to remove the limiter, the ALDA linkage disengaged and jammed the rack.

With out seeing the parts you took out, I have no idea if you fished them all out.

Seriously, if you do not know what you are doing, stop messing around in there as all you are doing is making things more complicated for the pump teck. All you need is to think you have it fixed and have the throttle stick on the way to the hospital.

Go rent a car so you can get her to the hospital, and tow the car to the shop.

EDIT: One thought I didn't mention. You may get lucky if you remove the vacuum shut off actuator and move the throttle lever from max to min a few times. It is possible to improperly install the shut off actuator and have it hold the rack forward.

I'd start the engine with out the shut off and use the Stop lever on the valve cover. If it idles properly try installing the shut off again.
