What’s going on with my car,I drove it 60 miles and would go to like punch the gas pedal and my car came up on my display,I think looked like a exclamation and then came up power reduced,stopped and cut it off a few minutes,cranked back up took off,went 15 miles or so,went to punch it again and the same thing with the sliding car in alarm,and reduced power,stopped again cut it off a few minutes cranked back off,and cleared all readings,and took off again and drove another 20 miles or so,and it didn’t happen again,any suggestions.

Any mods? Throttle controller? I know with a throttle controller, hitting the gas quickly can set reduced power mode because the pedal position and throttle body position don't match (or something to that effect, forget what the code I got was exactly). If no mods, perhaps try cleaning the throttle body/valve as it's likely coated in dirty oil (even if a catch can's installed). Any codes pop up?

Yep,have a throttle controller,although never use it and keep it on 0 at that,so might think about taking it off. Thanks
