Reduced Engine Power/New Engine Issues

So I blew the original 3.6 in my camaro and replaced it with a cherry 84k mile motor from the same year, but after install and first start (which was very rough maybe from 3-4 month old gas) I came across a “Reduced Engine Power” message on my dash and a check engine for a pedal position, a throttle position, fuel regulator, and idle position- which one of these codes could have tripped the REP because ATM I’m shit outta luck and I have no idea where to go from here except replacing the throttle body and checking my regulator?

My "Reduce Engine Power, Service Stabilitrak" code was due to using the Vitesse Throttle Controller, and then later again because of the steering wheel adjustment. I would check these and definitely the battery terminals and actual throttle body. I think I fixed this problem another time by replacing my intake filter and chancing the oil (it sucked in some water on a really rainy day).

If you have a throttle controller try taking it off (Ideal) or the quick way which worked in my situation was do the relearn process of it.
