You need to get the car scanned for error codes to narrow the possible issues.

there can be 100's of possible reasons for EPC light and loss of power. Anything you have experienced on one car might be a total guess on another and completely miss the target. Without a scan where it shows you what it recorded any answer is simply a guess.
