same thing happened to me except going up the grain on the 101 Freeway with road work on the side, I thought i was going to die... car did't stall. I put it in neutral rolled back for a while (really slow speeds... planing not to die), and pulled of on the side of the road.

This is definately a safety hazard that our cars go full limp with a warning light that last less than 5 minutes. my yellow light was on for honestly 20-30 seconds.

If you are running Procede try changing the WG to 30% instead of 90%.

The meth system is no where significantly near it. The WP and t-stat are accessed from below.
