reduced engine power
Just finished installing fast 102 intake and Nick williams 102 throttle body. Car started ideled fine rev fine. Then reduced engine power came one. Turned car off back on went to normal.
Driving it this morning drives great through first, second jump on it a lil bit in 3rd. Instanly kicks in reduce power mode.
Anyone have any idea if its just needs a tune adjustment or what's the deal. Any help would be greatly appreciated

More than likely an issue with that throttle body.
Pull codes and see what is throwing the error, but I will bet that's what it is.
Swap stock TB back on and see if it stops happening

If you have an smart phone, then you can get a Elm327 for around $10, and with an app on the phone like torque or dash commander, it will pull and erase the basic codes as well.
Note, if you are using droid, then will need a Elm327 bluetooth with torque, while if you have an I phone then Elm327 WIFI with dash commander instead.

Think i figured it out. Won't know till morning. A wire going to throttle body was connected by a quick connect. Came apart in the wire loom. Keeping fingers crossed this was the issue. Ready to get this tuned see what she makes! Thanks for all the advice fellas!
