Was I in limp home mode? 200 1987

posted by  someone claiming to be kswan on  Wed Feb 17 15:21 CST 2010 [RELATED]

Hi All,

On the way home from work tonight my 87 240 suddenly wouldn't go more than 20 mph. It would idle perfectly fine and if I gave it gas it would accelerate until a certain point and then lose power and stay steady at 20 mph. At first I thought transmission so checked the fluid level and seemed o.k. I checked fuses and all seemed o.k. though #6 was a little loose in it's holder. I then jiggled the connection to the AMM. When I got in I stepped on the gas off I went with no more problems. I suspect a dodgy connection at the AMM but was interested in knowing what limp home mode feels like.

thanks, Kirk
