2009 Chevrolet Impala

LATELY, I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ACCELERATION OF MY VEHICLE. EVERY SO OFTEN, MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND I GET A "ENGINE REDUCED" NOTIFICATION, AND MY VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN. WHENEVER I REACH 40MPH, MY HP METER DROPS AND MY CAR STARTS SHAKING. THERE HAS EVEN BEEN A TIME WHEN MY CAR WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND DISPLAY "IGNITION DISABLED". EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING ON A HIGHWAY. I WENT TO A SHOP TO GET THE ERROR CODES AND I WILL UPLOAD THEM.

CAR DRIVES FOR 15 MINUTES THEN DISPLAY AN "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" AND "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" LIGHT. CAR HESITATES TO ACCELERATE THE EVENTUALLY CUTS OFF AFTER A "SERVICE THROTTLE BODY LIGHT" COMES ON. CAR CUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH. WHENEVER THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR THESE LIGHTS COME ON. IT DOESN'T SPECIFY WHAT THE ACTUAL PROBLEM IS.
