Defender slow throttle response

Defender throttle issue Td5 1999


I’m having issues with my Td5’s throttle, it seems to be a little hesitant.

It feels as if it is under load. once the jeep is in Motion it seems to drive fine, I seem to need to blip the throttle to get revs up and then later becomes responsive.

It just seems to be occasionally lazy and when I try and accelerate.

The throttle pedal has been changed along side a new wiring harness from the ecu back to the pedal as it seems these can cause issues.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks Aaron.

Welcome to the forum mate.

Are you using the jeep to tow the defender?

Sorry I was referring to the Land Rover when I mentioned jeep.
The throttle just seems to be very hesitant and not very responsive at low RPM.
I was considering changing the MAF, any ideas?

Thank you! I’ve recently bought myself a Td5 defender.
I’m still trying to figure out how to use the forum in all honesty.

LAND ROVER > jeep

it would help to get codes read, rather than making random guesses at this point

Try selling it, and getting a Jeep!

But if you wish to persist in your folly, here is a link to the Defender section, where you may get assistance.
