What did you do for it to go into limp mode?

Can you turn the car off and restart it, does the limp mode go away? Stupid question - but my car did this sometimes. It would go into limp mode. Turned out I had a faulty coil. Replaced them all as well as spark plugs and problem solved. No more limp mode. RBTS Racing did it for me near Pamona.
