As long as your drive like a granny and not boost and shift low you should be fine.
I wouldnt boost or try to hit VTEC in limp mode.

Yea depending on what code you threw you should be fine. If it is a important code and you try to get on it then there could be some problems.

i found the ecu codes here they are...
P1298 Electric Load Detector (ELD) Circuit High Voltage
P0135 Primary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Primary HO2S) (Sensor 1) Heater Circuit Malfunction
P0141 Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary HO2S) (Sensor 2) Heater Circuit Malfunction
i understand the o2 sensor ones but wat would the cause of the electric load be?

Re: SAFE TO DRIVE IN LIMP MODE??
the eld. one is the main problem. that is electric load detector. im not fimilair with that code. but i know for sure. that can cause the 2 o2 sensor codes. cause whats the chances that both o2s can go out at the same time.

This should help. Good info.
According to that site, the eld reads the draw from the battery. Sound like your alternator might be bad or the eld is bad. Either way, you will either drain your battery and stop, or your alternator will work overtime and then will die, then you'll work off your batter till your car dies....

I had this code and found out it was caused from a shorted out o2 sensor that got crushed and kept poping fuses under the dash
