Scanned for CAN codes?????............I would think that limp mode would cause the check engine light to come on.......I experienced the infamous misfire problem because of a defective spark plug connector last year and the engine management system apparently cut off the fuel injector in an attempt to save the converter.......I was under the impression that this was considered "limp mode" as I was still able to operate the vehicle in a diminished capacity.

I am certainly not questioning your advice, I simply wish to better understand the concept.
