My battery died while tinting my windows.? I jumped the battery and now the engine light and "reduced engine power" are displayed on the dash.? How do I rid this aggrivating issue????? ?:E:  The truck starts up great but I have NO throttle.  It's an 03 Z71
 
no, but the reduced engine power light might
personally I'd through a charger on the battery for a while and see if that cures it
 
I jumped the battery and it is fully charged now.  Truck starts right up and has NO problems, other then the throttle control.  Disconnect the battery for awhile and see if it resets?

Yep..,. might work
 
Went back to the truck to disconnect the battery, the truck has self-corrected....but the engine light is still on, how do I reset that?
 
You can reset it with a code reader, if you don't have one stop by an auto parts store and ask them to read and clear the code(s) or wait till it clears itself (if the problem went away)
