Today I was driving to work in the 110degree heat, and my engine started to go into limp mode. It usually does this when my engine is hot, and it's hot out, but my temp gauge doesn't go up when it does this. Is there any thing I can do to help fix this problem?
Usually when it does this, I just pull over and open the hood to cool the engine, and also spray/hose the front of the radiator to cool it down, and it's good to go after 15-20mins.
