Reduced Engine Power

While driving, I suddenly got this warning... "Reduced Engine Power" (in Red).... Limped at low speed to the dealer..... Waiting to see what it means.... Any thoughts?

Hi there,

Could be the fuel pump, happened to me once in a 997, they replaced it and all was good, dont worry.

It could be a number of things; I believe most of these errors are linked to emissions manfunctions. I had the same thing come up on my 991 in 2014, and it ended up being a faulty seal on a vacuum plug. Quick fix.

The beauty of modern engine management. Something is wrong, it's letting you know, then reduces power so nothing is damaged. Let us know what the dealer says...

Looks like it is the valve throttle assembly.... I had brought the car in a few months ago for some hesitation at low speed with throttle "tip-in", but they couldn't find anything wrong with it at that time. To me it sounds like the same problem. I've heard a lot of people have had issues with some throttle hesitation at low speeds
