Car goes into "limp home mode" intermittently, 199

How to go faster, stop quicker, and turn harder. Chips, exhaust, larger turbos, bigger/slotted/drilled rotors, high performance brake pads, manual boost controllers, performance shocks/struts/springs, airbox mods and more! Also discussion on HID and Xenon lights, aftermarket foglights and other exterior lighting.

Are you saying it's a '99 model?
If so, I suspect the ETM (electronic throttle module) which is not under a 10 year/200K miles warranty. Check out the ETM section of this forum for more information.
Good luck and welcome to MVS.
