It can happen due to multiple problems like engine over temperature, the ignition misfire exceeding calibrated threshold or Knock Sensor failure. It can also happen if the low speed fuel pump relay is not switching on or when the transmission oil temperature reaches the calibrated threshold. What can be done to avoid such an issue? The best thing you can do to avoid such a problem ...
