My car almost died on me..

When I go to work every morning I take this back road that's relatively fast with a 55 mph speed limit and I usually drive it fast to get up to that speed roughly 5-10 over coz there's never any cops and everyone else is driving that fast too.. Well anyways this morning when I got on that road, at a stop sign I do my usual and do just under WOT as I get up to speed and when I got to 3rd, my engine light came on at the exact same time i shifted.. My car started sputtering and I put my hazards on almost immediately.. I didn't hear anything the exact moment it happened coz I was listening to music. Every time I stepped on the gas, it would sputter.. I found a side road a little ways up and found a spot to park. Popped the hood and the car was sputtering still. Checked all my hoses and everything. It all looked normal and nothing seemed out of place. Turned off the car and turned it back on to see if the engine light would come back on. It didn't! So wtf? Could it be spark plugs? I don't know.. I drove to work with no other problems.. Everything was back to normal.

Here's my cars specs.
