Limp mode is the mode the ECU goes into where you can't rev past a certain RPM because something is wrong. Basically, it's the ECU preventing the driver from [freak]ing up his/her engine. Best way is to scan the ECU (OBD2) or check the CEL using the CEL thread at the top of this forum, and fix the problem.

Thats why I'm confused cause when I'm in neutral i can rev past 4000rpm and it's perfectly fine, it's only when I'm in gear and moving that it starts to studder like hell
