Check your throttle position sensor connector. Probably got water in/on it when hose blew. It can fill up with water since the connector points up. Dry it out, Hopefully will fix the problem. This happened to my 83ZXT after I washed the engine. Good luck!

I HAVE A 82 ZX THAT HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE WAS WATER OR CORROSION IN THE CONNECTOR OF THE THROTTLE POSTIONING SWITCH , JUST DRY OR CLEAN THE CONNECTOR AND APPLY SOME DIELECTIC TUNE-UP GREASE TO THE CONNECTOR AND REPLUG IT,THAT SHOULD FIX YOUR PROBLEM.
YOU CAN FIND DIELECTRIC GREASE AT ANY AUTO PARTS LIKE PEPBOYS, OR AUTOZONE.
IF YOU NEED ANY MORE HELP FEEL FREE TO DROP ME A LINE.
