Limp Mode
What are the problems that cause the ecm to go into limp mode?
I have an '89 Formula 350 that is running rich all the time. I am pulling my hair out trying to find problem.
I replaced the plug wires, coil, distributer. It has a new TPS, O2 sensor with tb coolant bypass and MSD ignition. Spark plugs have also been changed.
Car went into limp mode and no codes, no SES light.

If it didn't turn on the SES light or set a trouble code, and for sure went into limp home mode, it's probably the ECM itself.
