Symptoms include your check engine light coming on and your vehicle goes nuts or falls flat on its face.
– Engine systems fault
– DSC not available
– Parkbrake fault
… plus it wont change gear, and engine speed is limited.
The currently recommended solution is to replace the entire throttle body, but I sorted mine out with only a TPS replacement (it is cheaper, and involves disconnecting fewer components).
The part number is 198500-3300, and it can be obtained online for a very reasonable price. It’s shared with other Jaguar models.

These are the instructions I followed, except for finding better success in disconnecting the battery overnight instead of a quick 30 seconds.

What a bad camera brother, it makes so annoying to watch the video…. Sorry to say, but it is bad, it damage the whole experience to watch and your good intentions of making the video. Thanks anyway.

Hello friend, we have a bumper v8 1999 I speak of Brazil here we use gasoline with 28% of alcohol is…
Did your car slam into Drive mode? Same problem with my XJ8
I bought a new intake tube off Ebay and it fixed all my problems.
did the throttle body with integrated tips fix your problem? The engine management fault code.
UPDATE: For me this was a temporary fix it seems. Approx. 5,000 miles after I did this, I disconnected the battery to fix something else and this code came back. I ended up buying a Jaguar throttle body with an integrated sensor for ~$250 versus this sensor that cost ~$25.
The original one lasted 177,000 miles.
fuck i envy handy ppl like you 🙂
