I'm thinking about buying a 40 year old car that doesn't have any of the modern computers etc. So far, I guess the rain had interfered with the "radar" system and confused the computer. Nice that no info on this possible problem was anywhere in any user manual. Wow!!! had never heard of "limp mode" before. Read quite a bit since then finding out it could be the result of many things including problems that could damage the motor and/or tranny. 2 different females had no idea what limp mode was. Duh!! I keep my ride spotless (unless driving in the rain). Said to make sure front of car was clean. Called dealer and was told likely didn't pull a code. Drove the last 100 miles or so without incident. Turned on hazards, slowed, pulled over and lifted the hood hearing all kinds of unusual noises. Car nearly stalled and acted like it had lost a cylinder's worth of power. Lots of semis creating huge following misty, hard to see rain. Was on the interstate moving at about 70 mph coming back from missouri.
