The fail safe mode (limp mode) I have replaced the following; valve covers and gaskets (found oil in spark plug chamber #5), all of the plugs. I have cleaned the MAF, the TBS. Relearned the idle and it is still in limp mode.

Yes, limp mode means the computer never closes loop. A common problems for this is the thermostat is stuck open and the engine never gets up to operating temperature.

Here is a guide with more scenarios

Best, Ken
