Change your O2 (Oxygen) Sensor and check your VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) located on transmission. Finally, check your TPS (Throttle Position Sensor).
These items are relatively inexpensive to change if you purchase on eBay. AZ and Advance have severally inflated prices. Additionally, run some fuel injector cleaner through your system and clean and re-gap park plugs.
O2 sensors should be changed every 40K-50K miles as a matter of normal maintenance. If you decide to change your VSS, then changing the Input Speed (Turbine) Sensor at the same time is recommended. You can buy these in pairs on eBay for less than the cost of one VSS at AZ or Advance.
If after these changes your vehicle is still going into limp-in mode, test your Transmission Solenoid Pack ensuring the pins that connect to the plug terminals are clean and connecting properly and have your system scanned for fault codes.
Hope this helps and good luck to you...

How do you clear the transmission limp mode warning light from 1992 Xj6 Jaguar?
There are several ways, one you could try turning the car on and off, many times this will cure it. If it doesn't, drive the car around for a bit and so long as the problem that caused it to go into limp mode disappears then when you turn the car off and on once again, limp mode will also disappear. The last resort is a hard reset. Disconnect the negative battery terminal and touch it to the positive terminal and this will reset and clear the code.
