Consumer Description

FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO MY 2003 CHEVY AVALANCHE HAS HAD AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM OF THROTTLING DOWN WHEN I HIT ABOUT 60 MPH. THE ERROR WORDS POP UP OF "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER (AFTER NEGOTIATING HIGHWAY TRAFFIC TO GET TO SHOULDER WITH NO POWER) AND TURN ENGINE OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE STARTING IT. SOMETIMES IT DOES IT MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE FIRST HOUR OF DRIVING. SEEMS TO DO IT MORE WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLDER THAN WHEN HOT. *TR
