hello all...i have a 96 xjr...and so long as i drive her easy....she works fine...but if i try to put my foot down to pass (or maybe just because) she falls on her face...its a dead spot and then it willl accelerate ....any ideas on what may be causing this??? Your help is always appreciated!!!

 

the dead spot is your faulty tps, the dead spot is a worn spot on tps. already been there.

 

I am experiencing the same thing with my 95 xjr6. If I drive normally it's ok, however, never mind passing gear or getting out of an intersection quickly because it will cut out.cif the engine doesn't cut out because I released the gas pedal quickly enough then it will throw some codes and go into limp mode until I clear them (always refers to catalyst issue)

I'm curious to know if you also experience any intermittent pulsating/feedback of the gas pedal.

I was told by a local jag specialist just 2 weeks ago that it likely is the TPS (throttle Position Sensor) just like jeremiahjaguar stated. I have already started looking for one.

 

My gut feeling is a TPS fault, as mentoned earlier.

However, the pedal pulsating/feedback sounds like the traction control activating.

Cheers
