Unexplained Limp Mode

Has happened to me twice in my 2009 Stillen SC 370z a7

Happened to me this morning, was driving very normally. I had the music playing so I could not hear much of the engine, started feeling the engine cutting out and bogging every time I tried to get over 2500 RPM, regardless of which gear I was in. Drove home slowly, turned of off and restarted it a few hours later, no problems since restarting.

Not sure what the cause could be but some things:
- the car was fairly low on fuel, a few minutes of driving after the restart my fuel range indicator came on.
- the car was recently washed. With my Stillen SC setup the pods sit just behind the front bumper exposed. Very likely they were soaked a bit during the hose washing.
- the music was running and I was playing around with the audio settings at the time it happened. (Bose system)
