Overheating and No Power

[maytimaws]

When the loss of power happens just before the gauge shows it's overheating, I think it could be either:

1. The pistons may be starting to seize up
2. The ECU is limiting power (limp mode) to preserve the engine

Things to check:

1. Cooling system - Check the coolant level, radiator fans, water pump, thermostat
2. Engine - Check the oil level, condition and pressure (Yes, engine oil also works to cool the engine)

Is the Check Engine Light (CEL) on?

Sir oj88,

CEL is off.

1. What do you mean by "piston is seizing up"? Do I need to have it re-calibrated?
2. I know how to check the oil level, but how can I check the Oil pressure? May gauge po ba dito?

Thank you for the above information!
