DTC P0120 P0220 P1516 P2135 these should be the problem codes.
2003-2006 Chevrolet Avalanche, Corvette, Express, Monte Carlo, Silverado, SSR, Suburban, Tahoe, Trailblazer. for reduced engine power. p0120 is throttle position sensor, ( tps ). p0220 is relates to tps, p1516 tps is out of range. p2135 is a throttle body code, the throttle body needs replaced. but before you do it replace tps first to see if it takes care of the other codes. have a good day !!

Replace fuel filter, remove replace plugs, check plug wires, by removing one at a time and checking for spark, add some fuel injector cleaner, about a quart. One small can to 20 gal of gas or more is a waste of your money.

SOURCE: after running 70-75 mph for for 2-3 min service

a flashing check engine light means a misfire, you should go to one of your local parts stores and have them read your code. your code will tell you which cylinder was misfiring and if there are any other codes that may also be related to your problem. but it could need anything from a fuel filter to a catalytic conveter or just a tune-up, getting those codes could greatly narrow it down

Testimonial: "i have a random cylinder missfire in #1 & #5 so i'm replacing coil pack's to try to eliminate "

SOURCE: service engine light comes on at 50 mph after i

Ths is more than likely a signal from one of yoour 02 sensors. On deceleration your engine is not burning any fuel at absolute efficiency. If the cat converter doesn't burn off the excess unburned fuel the 02 sensor indicates something is wrong. It needs to be chked with an exhaust analyxer to determine if the fuel is too rich or the converter is failing. Good Luck

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.

How to remove the malfunction light from the dash

If you disassemble the instrument cluster to disable the light, an open circuit is created and the powertrain control module is put into a "limp in" or "service" mode. You maximum engine rpm is reduced. You maximum vehicle speed is reduced to 50 mph and several other systems are disabled (like stability control and traction control). You're better off just having it diagnosed and repaired properly.

Engine power reduced

Engine power reduced , problem with the electronic throttle control ! Watch a couple of video's on youtube , google GM engine power reduced . The gas pedal an the throttle body have position sensor's ,when the PCM/ECM - engine computer see conflicting input's from one of these sensors it send's into a reduced power mode . Your best bet mite be to take it to a qualified repair shop.

Reduce Engine light on; battery light on; low charge from charging system; vehicle won't run faster than 30 mph

You may have damaged the ECM with a power surge from shorting out the alternator. Try to reset the CPU program using a code reader and look for fault codes while you are at it

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.

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.

PT Cruiser (turbo) CK engine light comes on after acceleration

instead of cacelling the engine light , next time take it in and have the fault codes read
all you are doing is cancelling the codes but not fixing the problem
