Default Throttle body removal

Can anyone direct me to the removal procedure?

It looks like only a few bolts need to come off -- I'm wondering about the throttle cable .. any other complications.

Also -- I want to order a new gasket between the Tbody and intake -- anything else?

I have been getting the failsafe message too often recently -- everything points to the pedal position sensor. I may drive the car over to the dealer and have them pull all the codes. I'm getting all manner of warning - it may be best to see if any are coming from the brake switch/ instrument panel -- or ABS pump/module.

It would be most helpful if we knew what Jaguar your working on. Once we know then we can advise. I have had the throttle body off my 1998 XJ8 a couple of times.

It's been 5 years since I did it, twice, (first replacement was defective) and it was easy, lots of plugs and hoses but all obvious as to what to do and relatively easy to access.

I think there was one connector or hose clamp or something on the bottom side that was tricky but otherwise an easy job.
