Power loss at 140km/h

So I was driving down the highway today just cruisin' when all of a sudden my car lost almost all power and went from 140 to 110 almost instantly. So I pulled over, shut the car off for 5 min and it drove fine after.
Any ideas would be a great help

Uhm..the speed was in KPH.

So no way the limited would be cutting in unless you are in 4th at that speed. and even then 4th should have room to about 160.

At least 170
