Default reduce engine power Help !!!

O.K guys I tried to take the car to the dyno yesterday but when I started the car I got the reduce engine power thing...
The weird thing is that as soon the engine light comes on the fuel/oil/temp gauges goes to zero and the car almost dies my tuner still didnt check the car But any heads up will be appeciated...

Also any dyno numbers guess pump gas 13-14psi for now. !!!


Thanks in advance.
Sam.

What's the setup? If it's FI (sounds like it is) it's probably all in the tune.

If it's happening from simply starting your car, you're most likely out of bounds on your P0121 table. Raise the max and lower the min values. Set the max at 85kPa and min at 35kPa. Go to Engine Diag>General> TPS sensor.
You could also be out of bounds on the P0106 table, located in Engine Diag> Airflow> MAP sensor. Raise the max and lower the min in those tables too.

I replied to your post in Tech. You might need to raise the airflow values in the 1514 table by 10% or so, but your elevated idle makes me think that it's a vacuum leak.

You still end up scaling the VE and IFR tables in my experience.
