For the third time in about two weeks, my car had the "reduced engine power" light pop up and it just slowly came to a stop while driving on the highway. The second time it happened I also lost power steering. Each time I managed to pull over to the side of the road and I jump started the car. Another reported incident on here said that they just waited a few minutes to restart it, but I have a portable device that allowed me to jump start my car immediately. I went to autozone to test the alternator and the battery and both were fine. This may or may not be unrelated, but whenever I start my car I usually have to press the gas pedal a little bit or the car won't start properly.
