Rough idle conditions and low CO readings may be due to incorrect adjustment of the throttle linkage and incorrect adjustment of the throttle potentiometer.

The throttle potentiometer adjustment requires the use of the adjusting gauge, P/N 60.973067. The adjusting procedure is detailed in the XJ-S HE Repair Operation Manual Supplement, AKM-3455/S1, Page #19-6.
