so far restarting the car or reseting the ECU fix all my Limp Mode issue but I pretty much knew why I'm in Limp Mode. The only time I went to Limp Mode was when my MAF sensor is wet...

What if your car will not come out of limp mode. After a 5 hour drive my car went into limp mode. It would not go over 3k. I got to my parents house and let the car sit over night. Undid the battery and then took the car to a parking lot for a drive. Same thing now its even chugging around 2500rpm. I got the car back to their house and the a/f gauge is sitting on 10 while the car is just sitting there.

Oh shoot i forgot about this thread. Umm if i remember correctly, on throttle, it was around 48 and at idle, around 56. But after that day when i cleared the codes, i havent gone into limp since. Maybe because its gettin colder outside. idk
