Burn out= Reduced Engine Power?!?
so I went to the track today since Sep 12. it's an eighth mile track up here in North Dakota, and last time I ran it 8.7. Well I go there after getting the supercharger and and transmission work, and I run a 8.1 on my first try. That's not the part that is tough, since I didn't do a burnout on the first pass I attempted one on this second pass. so I turn off the traction control and the stability and do a burnout, but that's when I get a check engine light and a thing saying reduced engine power. Has anybody had this issue before?

Possibly just tuning parameters not set high enough, or a worn out throttle body equating to a throttle correlation problem. Like Ravill said, time for a scanner.

you can get an OBDII scanner at autozone for about $40 bucks if I'm not mistaken???? I know its not more than that for sure because I got the pocket scanner with more features such as advanced diagnostics ect (like abs, airbags lights) and mine was $69.99....not that big of an expense when you need to know whats wrong with your car
