"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."

Sorry to hear about the Air Pump, but better to have it checked before its clutch freezes and wipes out serpentine belt.
