  Could be alot of things, but you should check
  the exhaust first, sounds like your cat converter
  has self-destructed and is intermittently blocking
  the flow.  IF you really get stuck, and this is 
  the problem, a McGiver method to get home is 
  to remove the oxy sensor (easy on the 5KS), this
  will let the engine breath enough to get you home.
  BTDT.  

  If it's not that, it could be many things, from bad
  plug wires to failing fuel pump, or even torn
  rubber on the intake somewhere. 

  BCNU,
