    Great tip about the battery - turn it off and turn it on.

    I had a code for a bad crankshaft sensor so I changed it. The check engine light came off, but it’s still in limp mode. Do I need to change the tranny? It’s a 2003 Suzuki grand vitara 2wd

      Hi, and thanks for watching! I would rather try to take off the minus battery clamp, and wait for at least 10 minutes (restart the car's electric system) and then try to start the car.

      @@reeknation2133 turns out it was a clogged catalytic converter. That cause so much back pressure that the engine couldn’t breathe. I hollowed it out and didn’t bother for a replacement since it has 300k miles. It works just fine now and no check engine light

    1. does ''limp mode'' can happen to all cars??/ 2. replacing the transmission is the only solution for ''limo mode''??? 3. transmission fluid is the only culprit??

      It can often just be a sensor that needs replacing. On my car it was a transmission speed sensor and change (drain and refill) of transmission fluid.

      If it cranks but won't start check the electric parts first, spark plugs, coils, throttle body, and else.
