I have a problem my NF Fairlane often goes into limp home mode, have checked transmission is ok, ECU is working properly, Alternator is working, No codes are regestering in the ECU so I dont know why it is going into limp home mode. The engine is running good both on gas and petrol. Can anyone help as to what it may be.............

We are having a discussion if the knock sensor was incorrectly placed or not working properly the engine would not be running right but it is running fine. Any other suggestions.

i could be wrong but i thought the knock sensor would just put it in into limpmode if it isnt functioning correctly failing that put it on the scan tool and see what codes get put out

We have checked the battery and its fine the charge in the battery is about 12.6volts and not low in charge to cause limp mode also the alternator is charging fine. This one has got me stumped

is this car a 6 cylinder or a 5.0L V8? Let me know, and I'll give you some ideas based on that.
