What does epc stand for?

Question

Hi I have a 2000 VW passat and when we were driving the epc light turned and I had no power going to the throttle I could not go faster. I had to pull over and turn the car off and start it again and it was fine. I know Electronic Power Control, but what are the issues that can cause it to do so? and what parts do I have to replace.

Thanks

Answer 1

Have the dealership check the engine faults on the vehicle. Dont want to be replacing a bunch of stuff which is not needed.

Answer 2

engine goes into limp home mode if there is a problem in the injection or other systems.  5 starts without a problem will clear the epc
