2000 Jaguar S Type 3.0 V6
Unplug two sensors attached to where the hose going to where air filter is, unbolt 4x long screws around the throttle (keep an eye on the gasket between the engine and the throttle body).
There's two small hoses attached to the throttle, if you can't remove them off (really tight as) no need to worry because you can start spraying the Throttle Cleaner (leave it for a while) to the throttle, I suggest you get a box of tissue, before you start wiping the throttle (clothes not good because it will smudge the oil all over the inside throttle), spray a little to the tissue before wiping it, keep doing it until you see the inner body is light silver color.
Then you can start cleaning the butterfly inside with tissue sprayed with spray cleaner, use your thumb to hold the butterfly piece (not with any sharp tool) while your other hand/fingers cleaning it.
Before you put it all back, it's not a bad idea if you start cleaning the air filter box where your air filter seating (or replace the if it's old air filter), spray with an Electronic Spray Cleaner each and every sensors and the connectors you unplug.
I wish I could have video what I did and post it here or on YouTube.
Doing so is NOT guarantee that the Failsafe Engine Mode message will go away on the dash, you still have to get it scan.

What does engine failsafe mode mean 2005 mustang gt?
An "Engine failsafe mode" can mean many different things... It is best to bring your car to a dealer to get the codes out of the computer. The problem you are going to run in to will be the failsafe mode light might be turned off when you bring it to the dealer? Thus, the code reader not being able to read the codes. The light sometimes turns off when you restart it temporarily. I had the same problem and replaced my "throttle body sensor" and got rid of the problem for good. It will cost you about $90 for the sensor. Again, it is best to bring it to the dealer.
What is engine failsafe mode in a mustang?
I am not sure of the cause, but the Failsafe Engine Mode has been a recurring problem in my 2005 Mustang for about two years and over 40000 miles now. At first it occurred intermittently but then developed into a frequent occurrence. The check engine light may or may come on at the same time. When going into Failsafe Engine Mode, th 'Failsafe Engine Mode' wording appears on the dash where the odometer is. Upon taking it to the shop when the problem first started to frequently occur, the fault code indicated the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) so I had that replaced but the problem immediately reappeared. Reprogramming ('reflashing') the computer helped for a number of months but then the problem appeared again, at first intermittently but again developing more frequently. When Failsafe Engine Mode occurs, the engine loses much of its power - I am not sure if it is true but I have read this is due to deactivation of some of the cylinders. My vehicle is a 6 cylinder. I do appear to get slightly better gas mileage while in Failsafe Engine Mode according to the on board computer (you can not access any information on the odometer / information display while in Failsafe Engine Mode but turning the engine off and restarting the car will reset the computer and it is at that time that I have frequently noticed my gas mileage has increased, thus perhaps it is true that some cylinder deactivation occurs while in this mode). I hope I can find a fix soon - I am at this time getting ready to take the vehicle back to the shop for another try at fixing it. I am writing this response while not signed in but if you would like a photo of the Failsafe Engine Mode displayed on the dash you can e-mail me at topojijo302@yahoo.com. Craig
