1. does ''limp mode'' can happen to all cars??/ 2. replacing the transmission is the only solution for ''limo mode''??? 3. transmission fluid is the only culprit??
I been driving with this issue under 2500rpm like tapping the gas to drive then gets to 3000rpms after driving a bit, they said catalytic converter needs to be replaced.
I had a code for a bad crankshaft sensor so I changed it. The check engine light came off, but it’s still in limp mode. Do I need to change the tranny? It’s a 2003 Suzuki grand vitara 2wd
Hi, and thanks for watching! I would rather try to take off the minus battery clamp, and wait for at least 10 minutes (restart the car's electric system) and then try to start the car.
Let me know what your mechanic says and I'll do the same as I thought I had fixed my limp mode on my Lincoln LS but it came back today@@Yashabanissachar
@@reeknation2133 turns out it was a clogged catalytic converter. That cause so much back pressure that the engine couldn’t breathe. I hollowed it out and didn’t bother for a replacement since it has 300k miles. It works just fine now and no check engine light
Wont go into overdrive ? Went to limp mode? Lights came on the dash ? Guess what it's most likely the cam phaser 2 intake 2 cam shaft yeah it's fixed.. ❤
I have a skoda yeti that goes at limp mode when its cold for years now. i have done a total revamp on the engine, repaired the software, changed cold valve and heat sensor and it still happens. any idea why?
@@DespairRepair hello and thank you for replying. From your experience, could the throttle body issue be associated with the fact that the car gets in limp mode when is not moving (idle) and the engine is cold. because when the engine is hot its ok. Also the error at odb is always a misfire at cylinder number 4
@@DespairRepair I did a revamp at the engine at August. Spark plugs, spark plug wires and coil are new. For a long time now, when the engine is idling and the engine is cold, I feel a shudder in the steering wheel and the cabin in general, and the vehicle goes into limp mode. when the engine reaches temperature then the vehicle works normally. We cant find whats wrong :(
@@kostaskoko3885 my goodness, that could be a lot of things. The shudder may come from one cylinder not working properly. Is the fuel injection system OK, namely the fuel injectors? Also, does the engine have a good ground connection?
Hi, my 2011 1.2 TSI golf is sometimes in limp mode however there’s no check engine light .How do I know it’s definitely in limp mode and not something worse.It still can reach road speeds however at a much slower pace then usual
Guys i have a Golf Variant 1.9 TDI year 2008. My problem is that throttle stops working as it should in the middle of driving, the car gets thrown in reserve programe..I have changed the EGR valve, MAP sensor, MAF sensor, camshaft position sensor and it still not fixed, the engine light is on all the time. I don't think there is a problem with the turbine because there's no weird, cracking sound coming from the turbine and this problem sometimes happens when i drive 90km/h and sometimes at 140km/h or in between so i think if it would be the turbine the car would not be able to sometimes drive 130,140 km/h and sometimes not. Does anybody have any advice? Someone had the same problem? Please help!
Hi, thanks for watching, and sorry for the late reply! If it cranks but won't start check the electric parts first, spark plugs, coils, throttle body, and else.
Man drives for about 20 minutes check engine light comes on Honda Accord 2000 SE 2.3 VTEC single overhead cam and then it won't rev past 3,000 RPM after 3000 that's inhibitor
Youre not telling us anything particularly "trick" youre just tellin people the same thing the dumb kids that work at the parts store would say do. Waste of time
Great tip about the battery - turn it off and turn it on.

It can often just be a sensor that needs replacing. On my car it was a transmission speed sensor and change (drain and refill) of transmission fluid.

@@DespairRepair hey, thanks for your response. I did what you said but it’s the same thing. I’m gonna take it to a mechanic to check it out

Could be cam shaft sensor I had to change cam shaft and crank shaft sensors
What about 2year old fuel in tank ❓ can be possible turns limp mode too❓
It could, best to remove n see flushing it out
many thanks for sharing.

Cam phaser sounds about right

Hi and thanks for watching! I solved my problem by replacing the throttle body.
Air leaks are also a common cause of problems.

I have the EPC light on but no Limp Mode
Hi, and thanks for watching! There could be numerous reasons but try checking the throttle body first

A bad gas cap / seal caused my Toyota limp mode and check engine light

My Toyota tundra went into limp mode today and all I had to do was relieve the pressure on the radiator cap... problem solved, works fine now
