Default Need help car acting weird!

Im driving on the interstate like two weeks ago going about 65mph, when suddenly my car rpms drop really quickly, then goes back up like nothing happened. So I didn't think anything of it, but now I have bigger problem. Its the same situation but, now my check engine light comes on, my exhaust pops a little, and I cant take my car past 3500 rpms, and it bogs.Its like a rev limiter or somthing. When I turn my car off for about 5 seconds the check engine light dosen't come back on and everything seems to be fine. Any suggestions.

There are a couple of things that can cause this. Find out what code your throwing to narrow it down.

Sounds as if you are having a fuel problem, low fuel pressure perhaps. Check the pump.
