Well I'll tell you my situation and what worked for me. I was headed off to work one day in the morning when the reduced engine power light came on and my top speed became limited to15- 20 mph. I flipped a u and parked in my carport. I did some research online and found too options,. Some say to get the throttle cable looked @ by a dealer, while other suggested cleaning the leads on my battery. I did the latter using a wire brush (I really got in there) and it worked like a champ!. I'd try that out first. Good Luck

I have a 2010 chevy cobalt. Engine power reduced light came on I took it to Autozone and had it scanned. Two codes popped up, p1682 and p0325. What could be wrong here?

As far as the cobalt, check tac/throttle actuator control. Below is circuit description for p1682.
The other codes was for knock sensor.

I have a 2003 Envoy- GMC. Why does the reduce engine speed light come on

you need to scan you vehicles ECM, there is a trouble code stored there. depending on where you live most parts stores( such as a shucks/orielleys) will have a scan tool they will let you use if the vehicle is in thier parking lot. this should diagnose the issue, provided the battery hasnt been disconnected since then.

The reduced engine power light comes on at 50 mph what can the problem be?

A lot of times this is a dirty throttle body, possibly sticking at this mph. Clean with battery disconnected with throttle body cleaner. Must be nice and shiny. If the throttle body isn't functioning correctly or it's filthy, reduced engine power light will go on to act as a safe mode.

Driving about 75 mph on interstate and all the sudden engine light comes on and monitor says reducing power to engine. Temp gauge skyrockets and cant drive over 30 mph...?!?!

The temp overheat could have been a false readiing due to a leak or low coolant level in the degas bottle(coolant expansion tank). The overheat signal is what induced the reduced power setting from the computer. Have your degas bottle checked at a dealership or by a competent mechcanic.
