At a recent autocross, my car seemingly went into limp mode. But no reduced-engine-power, check-engine or service-engine-soon light came on. Symptoms were severely reduced power and the car would no longer rev very happily.

This happened after 4 continuous (circuit), hard laps, parking the car briefly (1-2 mins) and then firing it up again for another lap. The car did not complete the lap because of the reduced power.

Oil temps seemed to peak around 260f-265f. I can check the log later if necessary.

My questions:

1. Does this sound like limp mode to you or point to a different problem?

2. Would reducing the oil temps (i.e. getting an oil cooler) prevent this problem?

Thanks!
