Hey guys, I have a 2003 XJR Supercharged with 67000 miles on it. two weeks ago the Engine light and restricted performance popped on. It went into limp home mode. After restarting it did fine but the light and restricted performance stays on now. My mechanic said it shows the electronic throttle may have been damaged by a detailer. I've driven around and sometimes the Light comes on sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the restricted performance comes on. I drove awhile today and neither came on. The next time I started they were both on. My other mechanic says the throttle may not be the only problem. Any ideas?

Welcome to the forum bigevent,

Follow Norri's link to the X308 section for help, advice and information. You should post the actual DTC error codes and not just the descriptions whoever reads them may give you.

Remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

I hope it's an easy fix.

Enjoy the forum.
