        Had this to, it was a bad fuel pump, when I changed it the problem was fixed, and no more limp mode.

        I think the bad fuel pump make the engine run lean, and the car goes in limp mode.

          see id might go with the running lean but wouldnt it stay in limp mode because thats what i dont get that it would boost after ( leaving engine running) in third no problem only after killing it of the line would it not boost in third.?

              ok then went to BVF the other day and i left my car on the drive running while i ran in to get my road tax ( which i had forgot to put in the window)
              went back outside and it had stalled.
              and guess what four years no breakdowns and i was already late
              So i then thought what else could it be turns over ok disconect ecu leave for a moment and it would atempt a bit more to start but still nothing ..
              then i thought fuel maybe and guess what my fuel pump had died on its butt. so this i think was my problem ...

              So thanks again Mister Sal you saved my butt again... fitted it back in and i was able to of to bvf
