Redued engine power basically means it's in safe mode. Sometimes won't allow you to go past a certain seed also. A lot of times, this is caused by a sticking throttle body. Clean the throttle body with throttle body cleaner, while the battery is disconnected. Must be shiny, like new. When done, connect the battery back up and drive for 20 minutes or so with all Accessories OFF. The computer will relearn the properly operating throttle body at this point.

SOURCE: need to know what the "reduced engine power' MIL

this is one of two things, first theres a problem with the engine , the way it runs its loosing power or if the wheels spin and the computer picks it up then it will reduce the power to avoid wheels from slippping, this is like when driving in the snow, now if the check engine light is coming on with this message then you have a problem and the first thing to do would be to have the codes pulled and see what codes are stored. what happens is the computer sees a problem and turns on the light and stores a code for that problem. for example there may be a code that reads po300 multiple misfires. this code would mean the computer has seen the motor misfiring and with some testing the problem can be found. there are many auot part stores that will scxan the computer for free and give you a read out with the code. if you get the codes i can help you further, have a good day.
