 Spyder Limp Home mode shows up in Fords!
USA today article on the problem with some ford engines going into" Limp Home" mode has caused a safety recall for them. Cutting power to the engine causing problems. Seems like the Limp Mode is trying to find another home..maybe it gave up on the Spyders.  I think BRP was getting the best of it and it moved on. A couple of years ago the Fusion (I had one) had throttle body problems with many of the throttle bodies being replaced under warranty.

Nice feature..!!
The limp home mode is a nice feature if you are out and about yet a bit dangerous within the city. If you can get closer to a town pick up is much easier. But without full function in town its a bit scary. Hate to have to get out of the way and can't.

I am very upset that everyone is using limp home mode without paying me royalties. I'm sure I invented it when I hurt my knees when I was 13.

Limp Home, how do you know when driving.........
Oh, a-hem, Mr. Otter! Like some Harley riders say: if I had to explain it to you, you wouldn't understand!

Limping home........
Actually, I had the "limp home" mode kick in on my one year old (at the time) F-150--that was almost two years ago. Turned out Ford had to replace a board--can't remember if it was called the PGM, or PRM board--something in the alphabet soup category. In any event, had it not been under warranty, it would have been around $1,000.00 to $1,200.00 to replace. <M>

Scotty: So sorry about those limp mode royalties. I guess I owe you for about five events. I will use akspyderman/pal to pay. Please forward me your SS #, mothers maiden name, and bank account #. I will deposit the funds in your account upon receipt of the information.

Someone mention throttle bodies? between Forrest and myself I think we have replaced at least seven!! Limp mode?? I seem to remember ryding along about 55 in heavy traffic with a dump truck nipping at my heels when i immediately dropped to under 20mph; if there was no median grass we would have been another slick on the roadway
