2008 GT Failsafe engine mode
So I bought a 2008 Mustang GT 5 speed at the start of this year. I’ve previously had a 2006 and 2005 GT. This one ran right but the speedo hasn’t worked up until about a month ago. It started going into Failsafe engine mode with 8 codes coming up. I have replaced everything from cam position sensors to spark plugs and everything else. None of the codes have gone away even though I have replaced those specific parts. I’m starting to think it’s the computer itself. Any info would be wonderful, thanks. Jacob

What are the codes? Are any icon lights on the instrument panel ON? Is the CEL (Check Engine Light) ON? Are any icons flashing? In a 2008, even the ABS Module can cause "Forced Limited Engine Output". If you have "drive by wire" throttle control, that also can cause Limp Mode.
