I have a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Comp G Supercharged and when I try to start my car it will start but when i go to tap the gas pedal the rpm's won't go up and will stay where they are then I get a reading on the computer on center of dash saying reduced engine power and then it shuts off. I hooked up a ODB2 scan tool and got a code of P0068 (Manifold Absolute Pressure/ Mass Air Flow-Throttle position-Confirmed) and then received another P0068 with (Manifold Absolute Pressure/Mass Air Flow-Throttle Position-Pending). The Third code I got was P0101 (Massm or Volume Air Flow A Circuit Range-Pending). Can you please help me with what to do. A friend told me I could take off the MAF and spray CRC quick dry electric cleaner in there and it will work, will it? What do you think I should do about these issues?? PLease Help ASAP!!!

Those codes are indicating an issue with the MAF or the intake snorkel but they are not related to the reduce power problem. That is a problem with the "Drive by wire" electronic throttle system and there should be other codes in there. You may not be using a good code reader.
