Make sure all registers are open.
Check and replace dirty air filter
Make sure return air is open with no blockages.
It is possible the limit switch is defective or out of calibration and needs to be replaced.

Some of the registeres were closed .I opened all of them.still tripping.The thing is the temperature of the supply duck is 170 F.so the high limit is doing it's job properly.Do you think there might be a problem with the manifold presure(I did not tested it!)

Other possibilities: clogged A/C coil (if present), duct restriction (loose internal insulation, if present), blower not running properly.
