What to do if your car has low engine power?
If you notice sluggish acceleration right after some work was done on your car, make sure that everything was connected back properly. Check for loose hoses, unplugged electrical connectors, and loose bolts, and if fluids were changed, look to see whether the right engine or transmission oil was used. Check your tires’ inflation pressure.
When to worry about a check engine light?
A sudden drop in power is much more noticeable and could be accompanied by a check engine light.

Is there a reduced engine power ( Rep ) warning light?
Many GM vehicle models come equipped with a Reduced Engine Power (REP) warning light, similar to the Check Engine Light (CEL).

This is a scary situation if the problem happens while you are driving down the highway or in heavy traffic.
When do I get a reduced engine power warning?
