Sounds like a MAF sensor. It's just an assumption because your car wouldn't have acceleration past 30-40km. It's basically a safe mode when you're MAF sensor detects moisture going into the engine. Any codes? If not get a OBDII reader and get a read out, it might not show a service engine light but it might show on the scan results.
