UPDATE:
The short story; ASR light and LIMP mode, ONLY occur when the outside temp is below 20 degrees F, and only in the first 5 minutes of driving, usually occurring when I come off the throttle, or hit the brakes. If I first let the car warm-up for 10 minutes, I can drive off with no problem.

I have cleared codes and pulled the same codes repeatedly; 8 blinks on pin #8 (idle speed control system at upper or lower control stop or LIMP indicated), and 14 blinks at pin #14 (closed throttle position contact switch).

I have Replaced the brake light switch;
Checked wiring harness (looks solid under the black cover at the engine front);
Replaced the wrong coolant temp sensor (replaced single contact sender instead of the 3 wire sender which feeds the computers);
Checked that I do have the newer part # for the OVP relay;
Looked all tail/brake lamps;
The Neutral Safety Switch does need adjustment, not done yet...

Co-incidentally, the car is in the shop today, as the Air Pump commenced to making a terrible racket, and must be replaced.

Thanks for any further thoughts.
