I see these throttle bodies fail a lot. Scan your codes if you have a check engine light on (autozone/ advanced auto does this for free if you can make it there)

COIL PACTS GOING BAD OR LOCKOUT ON TRANSMISSION DISCONNECT IT AND SEE IF IT HELPS
SOURCE: Acceleration issue
Just a suggestion, but the EGR valve can cause that problem. If that checks ok, then I would have the catalytic converter checked for clogging. Both ideas would cause that specific problem. I sincerely hope that this can solve the problem, or at least head you in the right direction. Best wishes.
SOURCE: S Type Jaguar 3.0 Air leak somewhere in the engine.
It sounds like the classic symptoms of air leaking into the engine after air flow sensor. check the hoses on top of the engine. Also spray detector spray around the inlet manifold this will get dragged into the engine at the leak and will make a noticeable affect on the engine note/smoothness. Leaks around the inlet manifold is quite a common fault on s type. see other posts with similar symptons earlier in jaguar fixya.
Good luck. Please let me know if you find the fault.
SOURCE: reset warning engine light
you can reset the engine warning light by taking the earth lead off the battery and connecting it to the positive lead, then switch on the ignition,. Reconnect the earth lead to the battery and the light will have been reset. What you are doing is discharging the diagnostic chip to earth, which is exactly what the jaguar main dealer equipment does.This works on all cars.
PLEASE NOTE, make sure you disconnect the earth lead from the battery .

it could be a lot of things.. but if you smelled something burning then you may have already done damage to your car. id have it towed to a dealer.
