Just make sure you have nothing loose. My car did this when my intake bolts came off my S/C'er. Would turn on, idle fine for a second, then "Engine Power Reduced" would display on the DIC.

What code did you get. Most likely a sensor going bad. P0183 knocked my car into limp mode every 5 minutes.

i dont remember the numbers either. but awhile pack i did a hard pull onto the freeway and it went into limp mode and it was cause the tb and maf were dirty. but today a guy cut me off on the free way and i had to break and swerve and i spun out and then it went into engine power reduced
