this post is for a friend with an 04' "r".
Car was fine only with a long running cruise control failure (fault). So he was driving and he said the he took foot off the gas and the car kept going like he was on the gas so he shut the car off in gear now it is in limp mode and showing like 5 codes including cylinder 2 misfire and cat code and maf code. I know the codes could be from shutting the car off in gear. Any suggestions beside battery reset, what could cause this surging forward even though off gas?

I have a 2000 XK8 and I've had the similar thing occur. Driving along at low speed 20-40 kph) and the engine climbs to about 3000 RPM without contact on the accelerator. It settles down and the issue passes after a couple of minutes. This occurred a couple of times. I am still trying to resolve it.
Recently, the engine has been cyclically running up/slowing to idle at startup.
