I can't, for the life of me, find how to adjust the position of the throttle cable on my '00 XK8. I found how to do it on the '03 (Sam's Vid) and I read the FAQ about it but it doesn't detail the procedure for my mdy. The links to the thread at roadfly seem to be borked as I get an error message from them.

 

Loads of search results

but check first with OBD live data (if you can) that you need to do anything.
Also look in HOW-TOs under battery disconnect for training the throttle and kickdown.

 

That's the same thread I checked earlier. I didn't see the procedure for the '00 car. I'm not sure if Gabriel's quote applies to me. I pull the plastic but the only thing in there is the brake fluid. The throttle on my car is in plain sight but I don't see a way to adjust it. I already checked the OBD live data, I've got a 67% right now.

 

Have you tried the retrain procedure ?
The adjustment procedure described has been used with success by other 2000 MY owners so shouldn't do any harm if a retrain does nothing.

 

There is a plastic square around the throttle cable that is Zip-tied diagonally to a bracket on the throttle body. Break off the Zip-tie, lift the square/cable out of the bracket and spin it to tighten or loosen the throttle cable. Click it back in place and check the throttle % on the scanner when the pedal is down to the floor. repeat and adjust until 100% is just reached. Put a new zip tie in place and you are good to go.
