	This has been an ongoing problem for the past year. my 2003 jaguar vanden plas goes into limp mode and the car will barely move. it is a hazard, especially if there is no place to pull over. diagnosed as a throttle body problem which is a well known issue that jaguar refuses to address. usually a restart will correct it. this time it does not correct and will cost $3,000 to correct the problem.
