What system triggers the "limp home" mode? Is it the ECM or the MEM CAL chip? Mine appears to go into that mode as soon as the under hood temp rises. I tried another ECM with my MEM CAL but it still does it. '92 LT1.

Default Something failed.

Did you check your diagnostic codes? Place a wire between terminal A and B on the ADLD, turn the key to on (don't start the engine) and jot down the codes.
