The circumstances: It was very hot and humid here when I was driving home, I had the A/C on "Max" for parts of my drive (only about a 20 min drive) and the engine malfunction message appeared in the last 5 minutes or so, after some WOT driving and possibly not fully warmed up yet. I got the message while I was about to pull off the highway and honestly, the "Reduced Poer" didnt feel nearly as reduced as I would have expected. When I got off at my exit and there was a red light I turned the car off and on again. No long cranks although the idle seemed/seems a little rough (then again this seems to be true of bone stock n54s).
Any thoughts? My main concern is that I threw a code.

I started having the same issue over the last couple of weeks with my SSTT. I am down in Miami and it seems ever since its gotten warmer and more humid, I go into limp mode about once every 2 weeks. The code I have been throwing is this one, always at the same RPM too...

If I remove the SSTT, I do not go into Limp mode. I was running the JB1 for months without issues.
