(Eventhough they have been of great help to make me understand my car in general and for future problems).
Some weeks ago when the car turned into limp mode I discovered that if I used the cruise control it worked again! Which in my mind rolled out most of the suspects and I took some WD40 (?) and sprayed the gas linkage. Since then the car has worked fine!
I cross my fingers that it was the cure, and in any case, try if the CC will help your car out of the limp mode and you are in a more narrow range to search for the problem...

Thanks for the input, my CC unit is brand new from the box, I installed it yesterday and as soon as finished installing it, I went out with the wife, not 2 miles later the car started limping again. The ETA/CC unit going to fail very soon so I'm not upset about replacing it. The wiring at the pigtail into the unit was shot, all the wire insulation was dry and crumbled when I cut into it.
I will try what you have suggested as well as cheking for codes that may pinpoint the problem. I love the car if I could just keep it running as it was designed it would be great. My wife would really be happy
