2003 Suburban. Reduced Engine Power
2003 Suburban. Reduced Engine Power Any solutions? My dads suburban randomly gets a reduced engine power reading every now and then. We have gotten it to disappear but turning off the ignition then turning it back on again, but then it reappears again during another drive or during the same drive.
Any possible fixes? from my research i've heard throttle body harness re wiring, checking battery connections.
Thanks.

Go to your local AP store and have the code scanned as that message appearing in the msg center is likely due to the PCM putting the car in limp mode due to problems - O2's, Misfire, Fuel, overheat, etc...
You need to see immature codes as well as set ones.
One common cause of this "reduced power" mode is a
disagreement between the various airflow calculation
modes (MAF vs speed-density, speed-density vs
alpha-N). The PCM sees that one of these things is
not like the other, and plays it safe. If the electric
throttle body is coked up its position may not be
quite what it's supposed to and you can get a
disagreement between angle-RPM (alpha-N)
estimate and the MAP-RPM (speed density) one.
Probably either a hygeine or blind parts swapping
problem at the bottom of it.
Electric throttle is the Devil.

Get it scanned as a code WILL be stored!!!

But as said the PCM should have a reason for REP event & light request.

Verdad Gallardo Correct it's done thru timing, and injector control. My 2000 Silverado had a limp mode and the cable tb was on the Vortec motor thru 2005 I believe.
