Hello,
Having a bit of a problem with my old girl a 2000 S type 3L V6 immaculate with only 48k on it but I was having a problem where the car would stutter under acceleration sometimes then it started to just cut out completely but start again immediately.
Took it into a trusted garage who tell me its the potentiometer that is faulty this is a new one on me im afraid
I know where and what the Throttle position sensor is but not a clue about the potentiometer is this the same thing/
also he says he is having trouble getting parts Dont want to lose this lovely to something so small sounding any help appreciated
engine Cutting out
in Jaguar S-Type Club

My 2000 year S type 3 litre has just 48k on the clock absolutely immaculate and a joy to drive until recently
Car would cut out out when driving but restart immediately ,drive for a bit then do it again
It had a kind of jerky acceleration as well I would floor it and it would think about things then kickdown
Have had a new fuel filter a faulty coil pack changed and also replaced the cats in case they were damaged
Eng man light flickered now and again as well Fault code reader pointed to the Throttle position sensor which as you know is not a part you can buy new anymore but I got a throttle body
and sensor from a breaker.Car started no problem went for a drive and then it just cut out again and wouldnt re start this time.
Other forums point to possible breather pipe problems or air leaks from somewhere.
I really want to keep this car on the road as I love it
Any help appreciated also do you think there would be any use it getting a Jaguar main dealer to see it
Cheers
