The engineers for the northstar were smart...if for some reason you lose the cooling ability for whatever reason, the aurora can shut down to 4 culinders for a short period to get you on to the service station/dealer. This is supposed to be for about 20 miles I think. It sounds to me like you have a thermo problem somewhere and is giving you a false reading and shutting down to 4 cylinders, thus the loss fo power. i would have the sensors checked for accuracy.

Computer is putting you into limp home mode in error, possibly?
