Default reduced power

I bought my 01 zo6 new...OK no problems until reduced power was and is still displayed. Car has 41k miles.D.I.C. reads codes 1120 1220 1515 1516 1278 1064.OK ... I reset codes ..it runs great a few miles ..then codes return with service active handling /reduced power ! This is like a scene from the movie "Groundhog Day" Is there some one who can help.

Looking at some of your codes, I would got a throttle body and MAF cleaner and cleaner and clean them really good. MAF cleaner is really a spray it down really good with the cleaner and let it air dry. The throttle body cleaner...spray it, wipe it down good. Unsure if this will fix your problem, but it could be a start.

I used alcohol and a qtip to clean mine- be very gentle

Do you have an aftermarket air intake? if water is getting in- you could also get some of those codes.

Next I would start looking at the PCM in the passenger foot well- see if water is getting in there
