Default "Reduced Engine Power" ???

Hey everyone, I have a 2000 FRC that I love, anyways while driving today she flashed "Reduced Engine Power" followed by " Service Traction Control" She ran like crap, I pulled over, shut her down, restarted and she was fine. WTF? Anyone have any input or expierienced this problem?

Yep, been there, experienced w/ my 2001 - drove a block home under reduced engine power all the while wondering NOW WTF, barely had enough power to get front wheels over cement lip going into garage - shut it off, let it sit a little, came back after dinner to work on the "problem" and the problem was gone. Don't know what it was, and I didn't do anything - just thankful it went away
