My 05' Chevy Cobalt died while driving. After pulling over the message on the dash was engine power reduced, disabled engine. It's like it was electrically disabled, but after sitting for a bit it started right back up and ran great. My OBDII code reader had an error trying to read the engine code so I don't yet have that. Hard to trust it now, any ideas?. Thanks

Certain vehicles have an inbuilt safety feature to stop the engine when it detects a fault? There could be numerous reasons for this to occur, untill you manage to read the DTC, I cannot add more sorry.
