Could mean the car’s computer is sensing engine pinging, which if left that way could damage the engine. So it puts the car in low power mode, or even potentially prevents the engine from running. That would be done to save you the cost of incurring expensive engine repairs. Ask your shop to determine why this is happening. Could be a faulty knock sensor, or you are using an incorrect gasoline, or could caused be other problems too numerous to mention.

Can a car not run due to a bad knock sensor?
