Yes, limp mode on a CDI includes no turbo, upshifting very soon upon takeoff, and no downshifting until stopped. Flooring it gives no kickdown, you can manually downshift with the stick, but power is still limited to a crippling degree. In my case resetting the CEL would give normal performance for about a half mile before limp mode returns. Hopefully with this bypass resistor I'm done with swirl-flap-limp-mode for good.
