99 E300TD Loss of power

Drove 40 miles in 95 deg F ambient. Using cruise control.

Engine temp was around 95 deg. Normally the engine runs at 80-85 deg.

Got off exit car drove normal for 5 miles, then suddenly the car felt like it had no turbo charger. Push accelerator to the floor and the car barely accelerates.

Made it to work, shut down engine, checked fluid levels and found ok.

3-4 hours later I started back up and drove it a couple miles and the car was fine.

Everything has been fine since. That was 2 days ago. I did the same drive twice since. Similar ambient temps.

This is the first time this has happened.
