My vehicle listed above (Connect) has started to go in to limp mode roughly every thirty miles it shuts down to 1.500 revs. I pull over and turn the ignition on and off and it returns to normal. No codes showing on diagnostics. I changed fuel filter cleaned MAF sensor put injector cleaner in and it has gotten worse. When I listen to the engine I can hear a ticking arcing type noise every so often. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave

Sounds like a throttle body to me. It does not set a code because the threshold to set it was not met. When it acts up pull over to a safe place and put the accelerator pedal to the floor for thirty seconds before shutting off the vehicle. You may also have a misfire which will not make it go into limp mode but will save misfire info into mode 6, that is if your scan tool has the capability to read that. Let us know what you find and if you need more help.
