Why does my Nissan Hardbody go into limp mode?
As soon as it got warmed up to running temp the problems would come back. The first 10-15 minutes it ran as good as the day I bought it and then when it reached that temp or whatever sensor/part turned on, it was a completely different truck. From what I read it was going into ‘limp mode’ as soon as it warmed up.
