Default Throttle Cable Adjustment
Hello , after scanning my Jag for errors i found "throttle body sensor error" it seems there is a lag between the pedal position and TPS due to a slickly & slightly loose throttle cable, Please any advice on how to adjust a throttle cable???

Here is a link to a discussion of adjustment of the throttle cable:

That works well but several have tried to adjust the TPS with poor results.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the info, have tensioned it, my jag is more powerful and less sluggish now, at least no “engine safe mode” for now!

Cheers !
