At that kinda mileage, I would suspect the timing chain is jumping. Usually by 150,000 there is no teeth left on the top gear. Beyond that, you are living on borrowed time.

Most times when a chain slips, it does so from the rock-back that occurs when the motor is shut off. Explains the sudden onset after parking it. Will probably continue to jump, untill it is undriveable.
