It's actually coolant over temp.. Have you checked you temp gauge or coolant levels.. When computer sees the car at 268F it goes into protection mode via fuel shutoff (alternates 4 injectors, so the car barely runs).

Did you get the air out of your cooling system...?

ya problem solved. my griffin radiator appearantly was damaged in the previous car when a fucktard crashed my car. pinched a cooling tube and made a pinhole leak that would only leak when the car was at temp and would quickly evaporate not leaving any signs of a leak...got a new radiator burped the system finally and no air no more code...
