fun mechanical mystery

hey,
i was driving home last night when i had a 'delightful' suprise from my 1988 saab 900. at a red light something suddenly went quiet from my normal idling noise(for a sec i thought the car had died and tapped the gas pedal to check) and there was a tiny bit of smoke from under my hood.
i pulled over to have a look (i have no mechanical knowledge)but didn't see anymore smoke and nothing seemed to be hanging or dangling and as it was 3am i cautiously drove the last few miles home without any problems.
i can't take the car to a mechanic until tuesday so i thought i'd see if anyone here might have any ideas what this could be.
details maybe connected maybe not:
-the car did seem to be making louder recently - like i needed to shift to higher gear when that wasn't the case
-the last couple of days when i'd turn on the car the idle would drop really low and i would have to give it lots of gas to get it to normal so i could drive off
-sometimes around 40mph i'd hear a rattling sound - usuallly disappears at higher speeds and not present much below.
any thoughts?
thanks!
