I will try to describe the process. Very easy when you see it done, not so easy to have it explained.

On my 2004 95 Aero it went into limp mode, both electronically and mechanically. Here is the procedure as I know it, if there some mechanics out there and this is not correct then please chime in.

- Disconnect the battery + cable
- Remove the black plastic cover that hides the TB and is around the Oil dip stick.
- On the passenger side of the TB you will see a black metal cover plate, remove it (2 X 10mm) bolts. This will expose the cable/spring wheel that the throttle cable is attached to.
- If you look directly at the wheel you have a front piece and a back piece. The back piece has some ridges on the top surface.
- In normal mode only the outer piece should move with the push of the pedal. In limp mode both pieces move.
- The object is to reset the back piece. You must rotate it counter clockwise till it clicks into place and is held by a switch. You will see this switch as it has 2 wires coming off it and is on you left if you are looking straight on to the wheels.
- You will not be able to move the back wheel back until you release the spring that is sticking out the bottom around 5 o-clock. This metal spring tab needs to be moved to the other side of the black plastic piece. You can do this with your finger and press it back and it will pop around the black tab on the back wheel. Once the spring releases you will be able to easily rotate the back wheel counterclockwise into place.
- You will know it is correct if you move the throttle cable and only the front wheel moves and the back wheel that you locked into place stays put.
- Reconnect the battery (This was to reset the ECU check engine code).

Like I said it is a little hard to describe but very very easy once you have done it.

Hope this helps,
