Default Reving problem XJR

So my battery died this moring and now hat I've charged it when I hit the pedal in park and hold it revs to about 3rpm then back down to about 1rpm over and over again, what is going on now? Haha

Thank you I wondered about that but I've never had a car do that before, obviously my first jag.

Mine does the same & I thought it was a fault as well, until I learned about the 3k static rev limiter when in 'P' or 'N'. It's not mentioned in the handbook-only in the Jaguar Technical Description documents which describe in detail the operation of the engine management systems...

My 02 T Bird does the same thing. Must run in the family.

My supercharged Pontiac Grand Prix did the same thing as well. I think it is to limit boost to the engine wehn there is no load on it.
