in what way mate?
didnt make sense

Its only a theory as I am not ssure how engines work that well, but maybe if the engine isn't being cooled properly then the ecu might put it in safe mode by not using as much power so it doesn't get as hot as quick..maybe..maybe not  :undecided:

Just me trying to understand these complicated machines  :laugh:
