SERVICE ACTION: Operation of Throttle While in Closed Position
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE
CONDITION SUMMARY:
Situation:
A concern has been identified with the operation of the throttle on a number of 1997 - 1998 model years XK8, 1998 model year XJ8, and 1998 - 1999
model years XJR and VDP SC vehicles. Under exceptional circumstances this concern could cause the engine to cut out, although the engine will
continue to be driven by the road wheels through the transmission and drive the ancillaries, so there will be not loss of power steering, brakes, air
conditioning, etc. The engine should restart without difficulty once the vehicle has come to a complete standstill.
