Hi I have a 2001 1.9 diesel beetle, my question is sometimes when driving up the mountain, I live at 6800 ft elevation, the car will seem to go into a 'limp' mode, wont go above about 40 mph. I'm driving the car easy, not bombin' the mountain, outside temp is about 60 degrees, no lights appear on the dash. This only happens once in awhile, and once the car is shut off and then started again the problem stops. Is there an EGT sensor that could possibly be limiting fuel flow that could be going bad?   Any other ideas?
