I’m not an auto mechanic, but I can offer some general advice. When your car goes into limp mode, it’s usually a sign that the engine management system has detected a serious issue. Here are a few steps you can take:

  1. Check for Error Codes: Use an OBD-II scanner to read any error codes stored in the car’s computer. These codes can provide clues about what’s wrong.

  2. Inspect Fuel System: Since you mentioned using fuel injector cleaner, check the fuel system components. Ensure there are no leaks, clogs, or damaged parts.

  3. Check Air Intake: Make sure the air filter is clean and properly installed. A clogged air filter can affect engine performance.

  4. Verify Spark Plugs and Ignition System: Faulty spark plugs or ignition coils can cause misfires. Inspect these components and replace if necessary.

  5. Inspect Sensors: Faulty sensors (such as the Mass Air Flow sensor or oxygen sensors) can trigger limp mode. Check their connections and functionality.

  6. Battery and Electrical System: Ensure the battery is in good condition and all electrical connections are secure.

  7. Visit a Mechanic: If the issue persists, it’s best to consult a professional mechanic. They can diagnose the problem accurately and recommend specific repairs.
