A throttle body on the jaguar s type is a full electronic controlled air valve. this valve controlls the amount of air delivered to the engine. on older cars this is usually attached directly to the accelerator pedal but in the jaguars case this is controlled independently by the engine computer. it does this to incorporate cruise controll,traction controll and controlls the speed the throttle opens to limit emisions. notoriously unreliable always expensive and unfortunatly indespenceable.
If your failsafe engine light comes on you need to clean your throttle body and have the electronics rebuilt. To remove the throttle body first disconnect the battery. Then disconnect the air cleaner held on by one clamp. Remove the two electrical harnesses from the throttle body. Make sure to move the red tabs to be able to depress the other tabs. Then remove the two engine coolant hoses. The throttle body is held on by four bolts connected to the intake manifold. Remove these bolts and the throttle body should come off. Clean the throttle body thoroughly with throttle boby cleaner and a rag. If you have heavy carbon build up, then either the "special coating "is no longer there, or it's still on and not worth the dam. In either case you can't hurt anything by cleaning it. Go on E Bay in the throttle body catagory and look up BBA remanufacturing in MA. Ther will charge you $320.00 to rebuild the electronics. That includes shipping both ways. When you get it back install it using a new gasket. Connect the battery and you have to reprogram the computer. They will send you instructions on how to do it. It's very easy. That should take care of your failsafe engine light. P.S. I sprayed some silicone in the throttle body, and wiped it out. Good luck.

You can't.
The "Throttle Body" on a car is talking about the carburator. It is located on the top on the engine and is covered by the air breather. The throttle body is a type of carb that has 2 fuel injectors positioned on top. So when you take the breather off you are looking right at the throttle body at that point.
tbi is Chevy's abbreviation for Throttle Body Injection. In this type of fuel injection system fuel is squirted into the throttle body above the manifold.
Between air filter box and manifold on top level under bonnet.About 9 ins in length with 4 bolts and a black plug held on by 2 Philips screws on the front.
