It is easy to determine if you are in limp home mode. Poor idle, and difficult to press the accelerator pedal. Also base boost only and A/C won't operate. Open hood and pull on the backup throttle cable - if that causes the engine to rev, you are in LHM (the vacuum to the throttle body has been dumped by the safety valve and the backup linkage on the throttle body has engaged).
I would recommend that you get the TCS Manual and look up the various codes to see if they point you to the potential problem. There are PDF versions floating around. Post your E mail.
Try retorquing your head bolts (in the proper sequence of course - there are posts for that). That may be enough to stop the mixing of oil into your coolant. It did for me on my '93CSET (now at 299.2K miles and counting).
