Well my 96 did something similar, not a great sound, absolutely no power, check engine light to boot, then it came back to life.....later after a few more of those will it stall and why does it sound like it has a jake brake while idling in the driveway, twas the waste gate on the turbo.....I had 103K miles, no mods either.....could be it.....$ labor as always many hours, parts not too bad, but if its your turbo, you might want to look at the cost of fix versus replace and upgrade.......
