You can clear whatever codes are in it using a code scanner and that can get it out of limp mode until the problem comes back. If the problem comes back right away…. Then you need to fix the problem. What codes are you getting and what can you tell us about the history of the car, if you have any of that info?

No codes, just limp mode? No check engine light?

Ok- stop at your local parts store and ask them to hook it up to the scanner. In the meantime, do a visual inspection of your wiring harnesses. Follow them around the engine bay, looking for spots where it may pinch or rub. Also look in the driver footwell, above where your feet go, around where the pedals hang from. Lots of wiring up there, again look for pinching and rubbing
