Default Lost power!

After dropping my kid off at school this morning my 2010 JKU manual all of a sudden would not rev past 2000 rpm and lost all power. I pulled over and shut down for a few min. Started back up and drove fine the rest of the day.

Anyone have any thoughts or experience with something like this?

Well, that sounds like possible limp-home mode. Did the check engine light come on? It could be the Throttle Position Sensor which is part of the throttle body. Your best bet is to take it to an auto parts store of your flavor (O'Reilly, Autozone, etc..) and ask them to put a scanner on your jeep to look for DTCs.

Good luck!
