Sound like you have a bad ignition coil.

    Let me elaborate....I had the exact same issue and didn't get any engine light at first. Then I got P304 and and P1314. I put in new spark plugs and swapped the coils around and the problem was fixed. I have been driving the car for about two weeks now and no issues.

SOURCE: 1990 jaguar xj-6 sometimes won't accelerate when pushing on pedal won't go

Yes it could be the mass airflow sensor, it could also be an O2 sensor, or the EGR valve.

SOURCE: engine wont back off speed when foot taken off accelerator

Jaguar has a cleaning procedure for these cars . The TBI needs to be cleaned and the throttle body relay needs to be changed /replaced. I am sure the Yellow ck engine light is on with a throttle motor code in the PCM

SOURCE: engine wont back off speed when foot taken off accelerator

low voltage to the Throttle Body unit causes this problem along with a dirty buttery fly . Have the throttle body cleaned asper Jaguar cars service spec and replace the throttle body motor relay located in the engine compartment center row 2nd back . Then dissconnect the battery for 30 minutes and reconnect .

Car won"t accelerate over 30 mi/hr, gas pedal pushes back on foot, if a bump is hit the car drives as normal

when you say turbo has someone fitted a aftermarket turbocharger ?or is it a xjr with supercharger? what model is it ? xj40 or x300, the only connection with the throttle pedal I can think of is the cruise control or the gearbox kickdown cable. all the xj40,s had a kick down cable, the 3.2 x300, also. the 4.0l x300 was electronic. start by checking the throttle cable, pedal, and throttle body. if it has a kick down cable try car with cable disconnected.this sounds a strange one, love to drive it have been a jag tech for 40 years

Press gas pedal

check your throttle pedal position switch and your throttle position sensor

Gas pedal not working

I will list several things it could be first bad throttle position sensor,need to hook up diagnostic scanner to verify.2nd possible fuel pump not putting up enough pressure when this happens generally when you push the accelerator pedal the car will die,now if you have a throttle cable still for the accelerator pedal the cable could have broken or came off on top of the engine you can see it .is it turbo charged bad turbo can cause this.lastly the convertor could be plugged which cause the exhaust to be come restricted so the engine cant rev up ,you will hjere like a hissing sound when you try to rev up or put your hand at the end of the tailpipe see if it has good flow out the tailpipe

Engine suddenly revs when stopped & @ idling

sounds like one of the metal arms connected to the engine may be getting stuck some how. have someone get in car and press on gas when car is off while you watch engine to see what is moving, then check those arms to see if there is any possible obstructions or knicks or something on them

2008 Toyota Highlander Sport AWD when starting off the engine seems to rev fairly high for very small vehicle movement. At idle engine revs around 1000RPM. Gas mileage is poor,17MPG for about 80% city, 20%...

yes it is normal many customers complain about how the newer cars are not as responsive from a stop basically you have to hit the gas then the car goes seems to rev high to people with not a lot of movement becausse of this its because the newer cars are throttle by wire when you hit the gas it sends a electrical signal to the throttle to go instead of a few yyears back they were you hit the gas and the cable attached to gas pedal pulls back throtttle much more responsive hope this helps
