well mine has done that before and if you notice on the gauges there isn't a temp. gauge and what that means is your engine was getting to hot, but mine is a 5 speed and it came up and said reduced engine power, so cut your car off wait a few minutes let everything cool down and start it back up and it should therefore be fine

mine did this the day after i got mine. said this, then pretty much forced me to stop car. could restart and then it would occur again in 2 minutes. dealer stated the ecu was bad and wasn't reading throttle correctly. replaced ecu and never had problem again.
