Odd one today

Had an odd one today ....accelerating hard to overtake, I Accidentally hit the Rev limiter in 3rd , changed into 4 th and the engine warning light came on and car was misfiring ( felt like the limiter) . Coasted along on a light throttle at 70 for about a mile misfiring all the way ( was on the motorway so couldn't immediately pull over) and up the slip road. Slowed to a near stop, changing down through the gears ..... Then light went out and misfire gone .

Car then fine for the rest of my 15 mile journey incl some full throttle pulls all the way through the Rev range.

any ideas ? Rev limiter stuck on ( is that possible ) , coil pack threw a wobbly ?
