I turned on my car and there is an error that says REDUCED ENGINE PROBLEM, when I press the gas pedal it does nothing, is there anything I could do to fix it? Thanks in advance

Scan for codes to find out what the code is that is causing it

Have battery checked for condition because low battery will cause false codes then have a pro check this because of you have a lean condition as well as converter dcodes which can cause your problem.

We don't know that then have a pro check it as thee are some codes there that are extremely hard to diagnose. Also have fuel pressure checked with a gauge.
