Find the air filter (or either air filter on a V-12). Follow the air tube back toward the engine. The throttle body will be the last stop before the engine. It will have control arms/cables and a linkage for the butterfly (the brass disk inside that controls the air intake)
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.
I was told by my Jaguar dealership that it can be either "a clogged breather tube can cause that to happen, but it can also be an issue with the throttle body."
To clean the throttle body of a Jaguar S-Type, first, ensure the engine is off and cool, then disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety. Remove the air intake duct to access the throttle body, and use a throttle body cleaner and a soft cloth or brush to gently remove carbon deposits and buildup. Avoid spraying cleaner directly into the throttle body; instead, apply it to the cloth or brush. Once clean, reassemble all components, reconnect the battery, and start the engine to ensure proper operation.
To remove the throttle body on a 2000 Jaguar XK8, first ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Next, remove the air intake duct by loosening the clamps and disconnecting the electrical connectors. Unscrew the throttle body from the intake manifold, typically held by several bolts, and gently pull it away from the manifold, taking care not to damage any gaskets or sensors. Finally, clean the mounting surface before installing the new throttle body or reassembling the old one.

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.

Assuming you are asking about the throttle position sensor it is mounted on the throttle body and is operated by the throttle shaft.
