Just wanted to jump into this dead thread and mention I had the issue tonight as well in so anyone else searching can see this thread like I did.

Starting from a stoplight I was distracted by the cop staring at my lack of front plate and attempted to start off while still in fifth.

From there I of course stalled, quickly restarted the car and tried pulling off in first only to get this limp mode, tried pulling off on a side street and restarting it letting the car sit for approx a minute but made no change. From there I thought it might be fuel related as I only had 30 miles till empty so I got gas, backing into the slot for the pump. After that the car was fine and has driven fine ever since.

Cliffs:

Attempted to start in 5th and stalled, happened directly after restarting
Couldnt rev past 2500 RPM or give more than approx 25% throttle without it hitting a weird rev limiter
Just shutting down the car made no change
After reversing, getting gas and letting the car sit for a few mins all was back to normal.
