Update: Took it to the mechanic yesterday. Great guy. He pulled off the TB so I could send it to the rebuilder in TN. Then he called me to say he put on a used one he had in the shop so I'll have the car until my TB comes back next week. Car is running great with the used one! I think that proves the TB was the problem.

 

Good prices Gus. When I had mine replaced in my 2000 XK8 the charge was $1200. It was warranted by a contract I had so it only cost me $100. The shop that replaced my TB said a new TB was $2500. Pretty spendy for a carburetor.

 

The rebuilt TB will be back Tuesday. Total price $509 including shipping.

 

I hope this is it!

 

I'll be interested to see how your rebuild TB works out. Seems like a good deal.

I wonder what exactly it is that they rebuild. I guess there's a stepper type motor that could go bad and maybe some circuit panel. And, of course, with Jaguar some connector pins are undoubtedly incompatable with each other!

A lifetime ago I worked for Champion Parts Rebuilders in Chicago and we rebuilt carburetors. Big business. There were lots of springs, seals and floats to wear out, bind, weaken and leak because the carburetors were relatively rough mechanical objects. Fuel injection put them out of buisness for the most part.

 

I believe one of the things they replace is the throttle control sensor, which apparently was the thing that caused the fault in mine.

 

Got the throttle body back yesterday. Car is running great! $509 for the rebuild.

 

Kudos to you!
