| Engine speed fluctuating. |
|
2005 LR3 V8. When driving at low speeds my engine speed will fluctuate about from 2-500 RPMs very quickly, almost like how a vehicle with an idle control valve can "hunt" for a stable idle. it's annoying as fack, because you can be going down the road, with your foot giving a certain amount of pressure on the throttle, then the speed jumps 500 RPM higher, and you have to back off the throttle a little.
Scanned for codes already, no dice. Tried resetting the vehicle with +/- battery cables touching, already reset trans adaptations, and installed a brand-new battery. I'm thinking throttle position sensor on the pedal, or a bad throttle body?

As you're in the USA, I'd guess you have an auto so try a couple tubes of Dr Tranny in the auto box as these symptoms happened to my auto and haven't returned in about 6k miles after application of the magic stuff. It could be the torque converter on the way out so Dr Tranny won't fix it altogether but it puts off the time for a replacement for a while.
