Did you notice the big puff of shitty looking smoke out of the exhaust when it had cleared?
If so then it sounds like you are having the same problem I was.
Depending on your mileage you might want to give it a service, the leak off mod will help remove any air collection but it will keep happening if you dont track it down.
Check your filter and the connectors on the back the filter head, also find the lift pump (back of engine, left hand side) and check the pipe connectors on that aswell.
I bought some recon injectors from united diesel,

Before I got it sorted it was slow and really flat spotty but now it drives like a completely different van, plenty of power and excelleration.
