Limp Mode?

Basically the engine protecting itself. It will cut fuel & spark to certain cylinders, allowing those cylinders to act as air pumps to help cool the engine. As a result, you don’t get full power from the engine, your car runs just enough to limp along until you can get to a safe location to let the car cool down.

We were just having a similar conversation about cylinder deactivation in the general forum. Some folks were confusing limp mode with cylinder deactivation (it’s not, cylinder deactivation is totally different and Ford does not use it on Mustang).

All good. There’s a lot of folks here that have tons of knowledge on these cars. I learn something new just about everyday here as well.

But I also DO have magnaride, & I have a different rear spoiler, I cannot determine the trans cooler... So??

There are threads on here that can show you how to enable a Transmission Temperature gauge that’s available in the electronics but wasn’t enabled from the factory…involves getting into the programming codes and switching it on.
