hi

so i installed a grill block but i didn't get the mpg hit i was expecting. i noticed the fan kicking in a few times but mostly i couldn't hear it above the engine noise so i don't know how much? the temp gauge seemed fine, above normal but in the middle of the gauge, 105*C. i also noticed that the car seemed very restricted, top speed reduced, yellow "no spark" warning light came on one time i tried to overtake. was the ECU restricting the engine to stop it from overheating?

and if so what effect would this have on FE?
