You might want to try the X100 forum; this forum is for 2007 and newer cars. Good luck!

Jodimarie,

I've moved your question from X150 (2006 - 2014) to X100 (1996 - 2006) forum. Members here with the same model will be able to help.

Graham

It could be that the TPS plug just needs cleaning. Be sure to disconnect the battery before removing the plugs on the throttle body.

Your TB will look different than the one on my 1999 but cleaning the plug contacts would be the first thing I would do.

I saw a programme on the xk8 with a faulty TPS and they had to change the whole throttle body ( second hand) but of course you need to be sure of the wiring . I understand that it has two sensors on it, They had someone run a diagnostic on it to confirm. Not on US tv
