Default Reduced Engine Power

yesterday I started my truck with my remote start to warm it up and while I was getting ready I noticed it was struggling a bit so when I went out to leave It said reduced engine power or what ever what would be the cause of this? the check engine light never came on it was raining so maybe something got wet I was thinking or maybe some water on the MAF. what do you guys think?

scan it to see if you get any codes. A lot of things can cause that. Hard to pinpoint if it doesn't give you a code.

Try some different scenarios. Does it only do it when you use your remote start. See if you can change some variables around and duplicate the problem.
