it could be caused by any number of engine faults throwing codes and causing the computer to go in to safe mode

there is a sticky here with a very good explaination of reading codes


this site has an explaination on Manually Reading ECU Codes

then you can start the task of replacing problem sensors / parts ETC

good luck :)

Check out any codes (if your check engine light is on) and also record and clear your codes in memory.

Also check your transmission flud is in good condition.
