Code 998

Failure mode (FMEM) is when the EEC detects a problem with a sensor, and then switches over to it's failure mode. I believe that this mode is what is commonly referred to as 'limp mode'. I don't believe that there is a specific 'limp mode', but each sensor has it's own 'failure mode', which causes limp mode kind of conditions. You must have a wiring problem with your MAF.

I'm thinking it is more likely the EGR, since it didn't throw a MAF code this time.
