Low Engine Power Light
So i was coming from work today in my 1999 Firebird and as i entered my neighborhood the "Low Eninge Power light" came on. Suddenly well as the light says, i lost power and regardless how hard i push the gas pedal, there was no response from the engine and the car wouldn't increase speed at all. I wanted to get some help as to what needs to be changed in-order to solve this problem. Thank you for all the help ahead of time.

Is it an automatic? I'm not sure about firebirds but I know when my trans went on my 04 silverado doing some research i found that there was a safety setting that would put the transmission into a lower power mode "gimp mode" where u couldn't go over like 20 to ensure you got home and limit additional damage done to it, like I said not sure if it applies in this case but just something I dug up on the web regarding a GM. Sorry if wasn't any help but regardless I'd get it on a scanner asap to give you an idea good luck
