ok so last night i was driving my car to my friends house n it was perfectly normal, but when i was leaving i turned it on n my engine started to sputter, and my CEL was on along with ENGINE POWER REDUCED showing on the display. i pushed the gas n it wouldnt go, it would just poke its ass n wouldnt go above 25mph, can someone tell me wats up

 

Could be a million different things. Anytime that happens, a quick cure is to just turn it off and restart it.

BUT, to find out the problem, you'll need to go to an Autozone or Advance Auto Parts store and get them to read you CEL. That should tell you the problem. Happened to me once, and I believe I had a broken "Supercharger Intake Pressure Sensor".

 

This is a HUGE question.

Some helpful hints......

1. Get the ECM scanned to see what the trouble code is that set the CEL.
2. Post back what the code is and then maybe someone can help you.
3. How many miles are on the car? What year? What EXACTLY were you doing before you got the CEL? Any Mods that arnt in your sig?

 

I wanna take it to autozone but my car wont go past 25mph n the speed limit to over there is 50 so yea lol plus it wont go up hills n most of the way is all hills :P....o n na those are all my mods

o n i have 28k miles n i was drving it at normal speed limit

 

At 28k miles... just call GM Roadside Assistance or your local Dealership and have them come pick up the car from your house. GM Roadside Assistance is free while under warranty. Phone number should be on your driver's side rear window.

 

thanx, i just took it to the dealership n it turned out to be was TPS (throttle position sensor)was fucked up

 

**** happens. At least its fixed though.

 

hell yea lol

 

yea mine did the same thing at a dairy queen drive threw talk about embarrassing. should have seen the look on the girl lmao
