Anyone know if there is an ability to perform an S-Type throttle cable adjustment? The XK's have a TSB and easy access to a perform a throttle cable adjustment. If there is we may be able to take advantage of regaining HP and TRQ lost from stretched throttle cable resulting in the drive by wire throttle actuator to not completley open the throttle body blade.
Our moderator informed me the XK crew are elated with gains in HP and TRQ they did not know how they lost just by adjusting the slack out of the throttle cable. I looked but don't know where the throttle cable comes out and meets the drive by wire actuator.

 

I thought it was direct drive on the S types.

 

The (old-style) XK has a very different throttle. Their problem (and the adjustment) do not apply to the S-Type.

 

The later model XK's are drive by wire too, except they have a gas pedal cable to an actuator motor device easily accesible from drivers side under hood. As mafioso wrote, S-types have a direct electrical link to throttle actuator. Oh well....

 

Does anyone think that this might work? Maybe the one for Lexus, since it's Denso?

 

I don't know Panthro?

 

You guys should contact the manufacturer...let them determine which is best suited for your car...they're in Nevada City, CA.

 

yeah get the 1 from Lexus...er Toyota yeah thats a GOOD 1

 

yayy, I always thought my STR was slow and unresponsive, Toyota has to be the way to go. There'll be no stopping me then
