I've had something like this happen once, and it was because i had a dirty plug wire, which caused the car to drop a cylinder.

Sounds like the computer read a fault in a sensor (probably TPS) and put the car in limp home mode. Quote:

I've also had this happen before too. Oddly enough, it never happened again. I checked the codes and it was a TPS. I never replaced it. I just cleared the codes and went about my business lol.

It's possible to get just a glitch that throws the code when there isn't really anything wrong. Microprocessors in the car help to make them as efficient and powerful as possible but can be a pain at times.

I bought a used Mailbe Maxx about 7 years ago with 20K miles on it.
Overall, I liked it the 6 years I had it. but man....right around that 5 yr mark it started having all sorts of issues with only 70k miles on it. oh well. I liked it I suppose. Don't think I'd buy another Chevy though. Maybe a Vette or a Camaro if I ever had the coin. I have an '08 Rabbit with 49K miles and love it. can haul all the camping gear we used to put in the Malibu. and got the Rabbit for $10k. I'll probably drive that forever.

Except for the engine light it has the symptoms of a very dirty air filter.

I'd say top speed is the car's problem. 15 MPH isn't very good these days.
