have you checked your spark plugs, as a miss fire would deffos make you lose power. hope this helps. also, any blockage in your fuel injectors would be a cause of this. try some fuel octane booster.

coil pack, collapsed cat, filters need changing, could be a number of things. when did you last have it serviced?

electrical faults can fuck things up big time.

main thing to check would be, does it eat a lot of fuel? is the exhaust tip excessivelly black? if so points to lambda sensor fault which would cause lack of power
