Default Engine warning light high rpm

Hello,

I have a Chevrolet Epica 2007. Today I was driving it and I wanted to test the power of this car a little bit, so I did a burnout. I was shifting gears up at ~4k RPM and when I was about to shift the 4th gear, the engine warning light lighted up, speed started going down, gas pedal didn't seem to work anymore. Then I noticed that I can't get the RPMs at more than 2k. I turned the car off, turned it on again and everything was okay again, except for the engine warning light - it was still there. Does anyone have any clue what just happened here? I've tried to drive the car after like 1-2 hours and it seemed that it's all good - RPMs were above 2k and nothing happened.
