Default Jaguar Engine Cutting Out

Hope you can help.

The last few weeks I have noticed that when driving above 70mph, after a few minutes the engine will die, I pull over and stop.
As soon as I have stopped I restart the engine with no problem.

If I drive speed upto 70mph the engine will not die on me.

Can somebody please tell me why the car should die on me with speeds above 70mph.

Regards-Richard

If you include information on year and model, members will be better able to help. Having any stored codes read will also be useful.

When you have time, please visit the new member and introduce yourself and your car:

*sounds* like either a poor battery or throttle body connectors.

My bet is the early throttle body fault (vacuum holding blade closed).
Maybe the recall was not addressed or is reoccurring.

(I hate mystery car questions)
