Evo x engine light

This has me worried. I was on the road yesterday and decided to do a 2nd gear pull. Full throttle, then when the rpms hit 6k I got like a knock and it stopped pulling/engine light came on. Pulled over and saw nothing wrong. I tried doing another 2nd gear pull today and I feel a lack in power. Still under warranty

Has this happened to anyone before? what should I do??

What year?

How many miles on the plugs?

Have you done any mods recently?
