After driving 10 or so miles I got that on my nav screen. "Engine malfunction reduced power". The red line moved to 4k and it wouldn't allow me to go over 20 mph. I pulled over and cut the motor for 5 mins and it was all good. Check control read "all systems OK" as if nothing happened.

I've seen/read about people with this issue with a new tune but my engine software is original. Any ideas? Software problem? Didn't seem to be mechanical. Wondering if driving is okay.
