Rpm s on engine drop from 2000 to less than 1000 when I stopped car turned off ignition then started back up and no more trouble
SOURCE: car lost drive power when orange wrench light came on.
I-95 is scary enough w/out the car causing problems. There is a problem indicated when the wrench light is illuminated. You need to check for codes stored on the cars computer to determine what is wrong. Parts stores will plug a hand held scan tool into the diagnostic port of the car, and 'read' any codes. They can explain what the codes mean, and suggest ways to fix the problem. This is a free service. If you have any questions at that time, post them here with any code #'s. The condition you describe is 'limp mode' which the car goes into to help prevent damage to any components. When you turned the car off, it reset the system, and the car was drivable. If this happens again, pull over as soon as you safely can, turn the car off, wait a coulple of minutes and restart. Get it checked out soon, as it could lead to other problems,..

Something similar happened to my van, and it ended up being that I needed to replace a tie rod in one of my wheels. Hope this helps! I know this was posted awhile ago.

I am having the same issue after I changed my battery today. Upon doing some research it seems like there is some way of aiding the computer with proper idling. I haven't done it yet... plan on going to the dealership where I got the battery, but from my understanding you disconnect the negative line from the battery for a few mins, reconnect, and then apply gas at 3000 rpm for a few mins until the fan kicks on. AND this will help reset your car to proper idling. Good luck
