Engine shuts down, msg Reduced engine power
Hello all,
My Corvette C6 2008 has been fantastic for 13 years, no problems, but the other week the engine just shut down and I got the message “anti skid service required” and then “reduced engine power” yellow engine light is on and yellow anti skid light is on.
I open the door and when I get the green light on start button I can start it again.
As the car is not driven too much lately, 25000km I guessed the fuel was old 24 months.
I had like 20 liters remaining so I filled it up with 98 octane fuel.
I have since then driven 1000km and the problem persists.
It stops every 10km, when I’m on highway driving 120kph I might get 100km.
When engine is warm and I drive in traffic idling I might only get 1 or 2km before it shuts down.
I live in Portugal and don’t find any Chevrolet service here so I might have to go to Spain…..
Does anyone have an idea what can be the problem?

Had a similar issue on a 2015 Ram truck. Service engine lights were no help at all. Turned out codes revealed bad MAP sensor. Inexpensive part and fairly easy to replace and problem solved.
