    Goodysnap how do I do that?
    For troubleshooting sake you can take it out of shutdown mode to see if it still does it?

    You have to change the engine protection parameter in Insite to turn it off. Keep in mind, if you do this your on your own for protecting the engine from overheats and other detrimental issues. So basically it will stay running and it's on you to shut it down if it has an issue. In other words, watch your gauges.

    We just figured it out, it is the computer that's causing this. Thanks for your help and support! Now I can rest! Well after I buy it of course.
