Default ENGINE STALL message during cruise



Initial condition prior clean up.


After the clean up.


Prior the clean up. Check the condition of the butterfly, specially on the edges...
Hello chaps arround the globe ! Do hope everyone is enjoying your Jags..
Thought to give you an update on the stall message I had couple of weeks ago. Some of the older threads helped a lot!
As the title stated I had this problem couple of times.
I cleaned the body throttle myself, must tell you it was very dirty. My mechanic said that there’s no need for replacement since he check the software update and everything was updated . Seems that the problem was the dirty butterfly and since I performed the clean up, I’m running the lady just fine with no problems at all.
Unfortunately I never used any special additives on the fuel tank ( injection cleaners ) and if someone has any info on such let me know . Currently I’m using a product by WURTH.
I Will post below both the photos and the Jaguar Bulletin if anyone needs it.

Cheers !

The dirty throttle body is the result of oil, etc. coming from the full load breather in the right cam cover, not the fuel. Have your mechanic check that the partial load breather in the left bank is open because if that is plugged the vapors will be drawn by the full load breather on the right cover.

Plus 1 on that part load breather. The most common obstruction is the small orifice in the cam cover, You can use a small drill bit and scrape out the opening. beneath it is wire mesh and a plate that prevents the part load breather from sucking oil out of the cam area.
The part load breather feeds the crankcase blow-by to the bottom of the throttle body preventing contamination of the throttle.

Thanks Vern, that's actually what I intended to write.
