R reg Range Rover, There is a delayed response when accelerating from a standing start, then after a couple of seconds and a buried accelerator pedal it flies. Also, tick over seems very high. Any ideas on a possible solution?

I would change your throttle position sensor (TPS) or at least check all related wiring, fuses and relays concerning this device. It is located on the outside of the throttle body at the end of the throttle plate shaft. Its function is to send a an electrical signal to the ECU that correspnds to the position of the throttle plate. Your TPS is not sending a signal to the ECU so the ECU does not know to inject more fuel in response to the throttle being opened. The call for more fuel in the absence of immediate input from the TPS is being made to the ECU by the Manifold air pressure sensor but this can a take a second or two to respond to pressure changes, hence the hesitation in acceleration. One really quick way to check is to simply disconnect the TPS electrical connector. If it were running normally you will notice an immediate change in engine idle, as your is faulty you will notice no difference

MY 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY TAKES A SLOW RESPONSE BEFORE TALKING OFF. I PUT MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN BUT IT DELAY A COUPLE OF SECONDS BEFORE ACCELERATING

That is a drive by wire throttle set up. (No cable connects the pedal to the throttle body) I have heard of a few problems with throttle body motor lag, but i would check the pedal sensor and see if it is within the specs and do the same for the motor.

Pinging while accelerating range rover. I have no idea what it is.. Car runs fine. Pinging starts when i push down on the accelerator.

What grade of fuel are you using? Some Rovers call for premium grade. If you are not using premium I would suggest giving it a try.
