Sounds like a knock sensor or other electronic issue. Many vehicles will shut down non neccecary power consumers if it detects trouble.

They probably installed your fuel filter backwards.
If you are hearing noise back by the air clean, I would think vacuum line. Engine then picked up miss fire and mil came up with limp home mode. Scanner should tell you what happened. I would think the shop caused the problem.
I did a quick search to see if it was possible. Some filters are not easily installed backwards.
The one I saw for yours would be easily installed backwards.
Well on this model, if you are in an accident it has a safety feature that shuts off the fuel pump. There is a reset button you have to press to reset it. It is located on the passenger side of the vehicle in a panel in front of the front door. So in the event the fuel pump shut off a warning light comes on and lets you know to reset it.
Wow, that's interesting. I guess my question is, why would it run fine for 20 miles and then have the low pressure with the filter backwards? You think it takes awhile for problem to show up? My wife said after the tune up and filter change she was amazed how much better the car ran. I know the old fuel filter was almost completely clogged. I may have messed up the fuel pump. Wish me luck, I'm off to the shop. Thanks for your help.
Hard to say.
The filter may be in the correct orientation.
Sometimes when things are working right or better, the stress shifts to something else breaks.
