Limp Mode is a short term fix to get you to a garage before irreversible damage occurs. Connect it to a Code Scanner and read the codes. The codes can be searched and tell you the issue and how to fix.
The code refers to engine temperature issues. Check your coolant level then take it to a GOOD mechanic and get him to check the engine temperature sensor.
The code means the computer thinks the engine has overheated based on the reading from the engine temp sensor. The engine could have overheated, or be low on coolant, or the sensor may have failed.
Only way to be sure what is wrong is to have the computer scanned with a code reader or scanner to retrieve the trouble codes. They will direct you or a technician to the proper sensor, control, or circuit that is malfunctioning. Many national parts stores provide code reading for free.
Cylinder Head Over-Temperature Protection Active
Possible Causes:
Cooling system has a problemEngine coolant level is too lowA Base Engine problem may be presentTSB 10-29-1 contains repair help for this code (LS & T-Bird)
With the check engine light on, it means trouble codes have been stored in the computer. Either rent/buy/borrow a code reader or if you can take it down to the local parts store to have it read (usually free). The error codes help point to the issue(s).
code P1299 fuel and air metering. Auto zone gave me a print out that
