Still no mention of the actual code numbers.
Still no mention of which engine.

Not sure how we're supposed to help unless the OP wants a bunch of wild guesses to the problem.

Thumbs up Quick Question for now.

Took it to a mechanic several times and they replaced the throttle body several times and eventually the engine power reduced message stopped appearing. Last fall, my husband blew the engine and I opted to replace it. The engine was fully replaced except for the wiring harness and the throttle body. When the car was returned to me, everything was fine. However, the other day it started the engine power reduction once again and the codes are still for throttle body and crank shaft sensor, both of which have been replaced several times. The new code was low fuel in bank four, but did not stick once the codes were erased. Check engine light is always on, it starts well, runs decently before the engine power reduction happens. Once it happens, I can shut the car down and let it sit for ten minutes before it will start and run alright once more. My mechanic says that replacing the ECM is the next move, that he can think of. I need some ideas as I have sank so much money is this car already and do enjoy it. Thank you in advance.
How many miles did you have on your HHR when your engine blew? I am curious because I own several HHRs and I bought them cheap and they look awesome and they never seem to quit. I have over 200K miles on each and never did anything besides some motor mounts, turn signal switch and fixed the Reduced Engine Power issue. I will address it later on this post. Read further down if you still have the HHR.

Exclamation

EXACTLY. Multiple codes for same issue. Fuel pump is close, but not quite right. It's the fuel pump connector under the car that has corrosion.

Thank you for sharing, and the photos are definitive of the corrosion.
