2012 F150 Limp Mode

Guys I have had a few issues lately where my truck loses power and goes into limp mode. Put in park, turn it off, set a minute, and restart and it seems to do fine until the next time it occurs, 5.0 liter engine. What could this be?

There’s a lot of possibilities. Other than looking for warning lights on the dash (flashing CEL, ETC light for example), the easiest way to begin diagnosis is by pulling codes. A basic reader can be found cheap, but many auto parts stores will check them for free.

had this exact issue last month in a 2012 5.0. Ended up being a connector plate in the transmission. Ran me about $550.

hope this helps
