Hi all

I'm new to this forum and have recently bought a project Boxster S. It is a genuine barn find car with 79k miles and full history.

It's been laid up in the barn since 2012. The owner had some health issues which prevented him from driving it.

Anyway, we have got the car running with a new battery and replaced all coil packs to cure a mis-fire. Known remaining faults are a leaking LHS radiator and the temp light on the dash is blinking slowly. All fluid levels are fine.

My question relates to limp mode. The car will rev OK for a couple of applications and then seems to jump into limp mode. Does anyone have any ideas on what areas to check ?
