Default "Reduced Engine Power" WTF???

Happened to me yesterday when cruising about 30mph... All the sudden it feels like it starts running on 2 cylinder's, won't let me excellerate at all.. I pull over and shut her off.. Wait a couple of minutes, start her back up and everything is fine.. I run the codes and have about 15 Total!!

Anyone?

I got the same message, while I was running my car in the quarter mile. I got the infamous "Reduced Engine Power" message. I thought I blew my engine! I was probably going about 80 mph when it showed up. Ended up being my MAF. The male end on the harness had a bent pin. So there was no connection on that pin. I straigtened the pin & viola. Problem fixed.
