eng power reduce mesage!

guys every morning am getting this code shown in the dash when i first turn on the car. the car strugles at iddle and wont run until it passes around 130 degrees after me turning it off and on for a couple of times...what can be the cause of this? this really sucks!

the funny thing is that i just took it for service at the dealer mainly for oil change and after this it didnt do it again...but now a week after it started doing it again...

man your opening up a huge can or worms here... are you throwing any other codes? first check your 02 sensors and then maybe your maf. what kind of work have you done to the car?

check your primary 02 sensor as well as your maf. i forgot to put my primary 02 sensor in one time and it didnt wanna idle for ****. yours could possibly be burned up. a new one runs about a hundo from the dealership. ive never had any maf problems personally but i could see hwo this could be affecting your idle aswell.

do you have a code reader? you could be misfiring for one reason or another...
