Limp-home mode on 90Q20V

[Andrew Duane USG/PE <duane@zk3.dec.com>]

Friday, Angela and I gassed up her '90 90Q20V.  After filling it up,
we pulled out, and within a mile or so, the car was barely running.
It idled high (1300), stuttered and stubmled, wouldn't break 3000 RPM,
and seemed like it was going to strand us.  There was a small amount
of black smoke coming out the pipe like it was running really rich.

We immediately thought "bad gas". But, when we turned the car off and
then restarted it, it ran flawlessly, and has been since.

So, is there some kind of "limp-home" mode on this car that some
flaky connector might have engaged?
