Limp mode doesn't kick in until 280, and I've regularly reached 260 during a run during the summer. Turning on the A/C at the end of the run kicks on the extra cooling fan which seems to help speed up the cool down.

When it was happening, I started thinking about the quickest way to cool things down, and was wondering if the temp would come down quicker with the engine running or turned off (hood open of course).....so I'll have to keep the A/C mode in mind at the ProSolo when the runs come quicker!

I remember running my Honda's with the fuel light on and never got starvation...oh well, I'd rather have fuel starvation than limp mode so am glad it turned out to be an easy fix
