As you may know the Neutral Safety Switch is part of the ASR circuit. I have read many cases where the NSS starts going bad, and cars go into limp home mode.
A forum member (do not remember if this forum) had the same problem as yours, what he did was to drive the car in 3 and that solved the problem until he got home. The car was on running on higher RPM's, but at least he got home.
I am not saying that your problem is the NSS, but it "appears" that is the case. Reading the codes will definitely will help you to narrow it down.
