as many have said - many reasons for the issue, which includes... 1. bad battery 2. bad throttle body sensor 3. water in sensor area for throttle body (water can leak in through the screw holes on the sensor housing during rain storm or car wash) 4. bad battery connections - corrosion around battery terminal 5. wire harness loose to throttle body or battery 6. dirty throttle body 7. water in sensor area to parking brake sensor in back spare tire area in trunk (for jags) 8.

hi there
myself i drive an convertible xk8 4l 97 model sometimes the computer sensors pick anything that missbehaves under the bonnet. try and switch off the engine for a couple of min, start again the engine and see if the amber light, poor perrformance comes on again,! if it doesnt it means the fault was transitory, if it lights again it means there is a problem with the engine, from my experience it could be acouple of things that lead to poor perforance, ignition, fuel, and compression, in mecanic words, spark plugs, ,air filters,could be an injector or coil, etc etc . i would say take thecar to a mecanic before it gets from bad to worse.
regards
