Could not be in limp mode. Instead, have your catalytic converter examined to determine if it is failing and blocking the flow of exhaust.

If you're recieving a reduce engine power message on the dash that's usually a throttle body problem had the same problem 06 grand prix base model ordered a Hitachi replacement throttle body off amazon been running fine ever since make sure the kit comes with the necessary gaskets and make sure you have enough mechanic experience before attempting a diy install its a bit of a pia if i remember correctly not to bad though
