Need to read the engine codes, which isnt self doable on the 2.2 normally

(neither pedal trick or paperclip test usually work)

Where are you based, may be someone local who will plug in a code reader for you?

could be as simple as cats reading above threshold, or could be a sensor not quite right.

Some things will cause limp mode, some are almost transparent


Local to me?  whos your specialist?  I can always do code reading if you want  Thumbs Up!

there could.....but the reason is stored in the ECU, possibly for a limited time, and personally, I would like to know why, before the same item causes me to need a breakdown truck  Thumbs Up!
