Narrative:
At approximately 5200 feet MSL I experienced a loss of power in the engine. I immediately turned towards the closest airport a distance of approximately 7.7 miles. I was with TRACON flight following. After turning towards ZZZ I called TRACON. Told them of my intentions; was asked how many souls; and fuel onboard. During the descent I tried repeatedly to get the motor to start producing power; but it would not. I was able to make the airport without incident; making the second taxi way turn off. At that point the motor continued to run; and was then able to produce power. Taxied it to transient parking to inspect the plane.
