Your air filter not being on isn't going to cause you to throw an IAT sensor code. Check your wiring and make sure it's plugged in properly. Also, pull all of your codes - an IAT sensor code wouldn't put your car into limp mode, but you should be throwing a related CEL.

May not do anything but try re-setting the ecu ? don't know what could make it go into limp just like that do you still have the obd2 ecu try with that and see if it goes into limp/throws new codes. worth a shot imo

Worth a try. But open up the obd1 one have a look at it. But i'd say try it regardless(stock obd2 one)
