Urgent: 1990 Rx7 n/a

I was driving around the city, everything normal, redlined once the whole trip. Merged onto the highway, tried to accelerate, car hesitated, and suddenly the car lost power, slowing down struggling to go at 40km/h. Did I just blow a seal?

I'm now sitting at the side of the road waiting for my friend to come :/

why is it always a "seal thing"?
could be limp mode,bad wiring,hell maybe you ran out of gas..(no offense.).
1000 guesses until you can get the car off the highway and look at it.

Sat for a while and it started up fine..then on the way back it happened again. After some research I think it was in limp mode. Guess I'll take a look at the wiring. Thanks.
