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.

Is throttle body same as throttle actiolator on jaguar s type?

No, the throttle body and throttle actuator are not the same, although they work together in the vehicle's engine management system. The throttle body is the component that controls the airflow into the engine, while the throttle actuator is the mechanism that adjusts the throttle plate position based on signals from the engine control unit (ECU). In the Jaguar S-Type, these components collaborate to regulate engine performance and responsiveness.
