4.4 Engine Failsafe Program

Guys got a bit of a problem with my 4.4 the "engine failsafe program" has come up on the dash. I've run my 1.4 scanner through it and it tells me that codes 131 (Throttle acutator jammed), 132 (Activation throttle actuator), 103 (Function, monitoring, control unit).
I've done some research and found that the throttle body needed to be changed, so bought a brand new part fitted it but still can't get the "engine failsafe program" to clear.
Each time I run the scanner it sometimes clears the codes but it will still flash up the engine failsafe and the car runs really rough, no throttle input from the pedal so the car is undriveable.
I think that once the failsafe program is cleared it should run back to normal. I've replaced to the battery as well and was hoping that while the battery was off it might clear it, but it didn't.
Really need some help guys if anyone knows what I should do, cos if not its a call for a towtruck down to my indy to see if they can do anything?
