The 02 a few times has gone into limp mode for no apparent reason ie: it has occurred at low speed just in town , not horsing it at all.
It has not thrown a code till today but each time it also has "fixed" itself just by shutting down, parking, retuning later and restarting.
I searched for this code and got lots of info but none that had these specific symptoms.
Any feedback?
