yup... also check yur dizzy.. i had a cracked dizzy cap. but i couldnt see it(on the bottom side). and it went into limp mode. check all yur sensors. if you let the car idle. does it do nehting funny..?.. like bounce or die? mabye sumthings unplugged. then disconncet the battery positive. once youve checked everything. leave it off for 20 minutes. then shaboom shabam... start it and see. ull have to run it for a bit so it can relearn its components. then see if u fixed it.

If the problem causing the car to run in limp mode is not fixed then trying another ecu is going to do no good it will detect the same problem and run in limp mode. All that you did by doing that is you eliminated the ecu as the problem

Try switching out your obd jumper. I had a wire pull out of mine and it did the same thing. Its not that expensive for a jumper anyway.
