Turn it on, advance the throttle to 100%, and it comes on. It shuts off automatically after 1 minute of use.

I don't fly the 109 but I imagine it's because you used up all of your methanol (or whatever boost mix it is). Gone are the days when you can firewall a throttle through 3 or 4 mins of overheat messages with unlimited WEP and still get away with it.
When you use it don't forget to fill in a report for the blackies because they'll need to take that 109 out of action for a few hours whilst they service that engine you took some life out of. And your CO will want to know why you keep using it
