    My 94 850 turbo wagon (128,000 mi) had an engine problem twice recently, a
    day apart, during easy suburban driving in moderate temperature. In both
    cases it happened like this:

    - I felt the power drop, then come back, a few times.

    - Then the power dropped until the engine would only idle, a bit slower than
    normal and a bit rough.

    - Pressing down on the accelerator had no effect at all on the engine; it
    continued to idle slowly and roughly.

    - After several seconds, maybe a minute, pressing the accelerator had a
    little effect increasing the rpm, then a few seconds later full response and
    power were back.

    Has anyone heard of something like this?

    Thanks,
