This has happened a few times to me now. I was heading home on the highway with the cruise control set on about 67 mph and all of the sudden the engine lost power and the car starts coasting. "engine power reduced" came across the computer display. Like I said, this has happened before. I could pull over to a stop, shut off the car and it would reset, and the car would be fine for me to make it home. But this last time, the car would not restart at all. I got the car towed home, checked the battery, the cables, and even replaced the starter , and it still does the same thing. . . . Starter will not engage to turn the motor over to start.
