Limp mode on hot days, new clue...

Hi! As every summer my car can turn into limp mode in stop and go traffic. Normally an open hood for five minutes gets it running again. But today I used the cruise control to increase speed and the limp mode disappeared when the ambient temp in the engine bay was chilled down by the speed. The engine temp has nothing to do with this problem, only ambient temp.
So, limp mode is overrun by the CC in this case, maybe this clue can help to find the cause of what is going on?
Any ideas out there?
Thanks!
