Air flow meter?

Edit: As below it doesnt have an air flow meter

Head gasket? Get some oil in there, check water too.

Check your inlet manifold gasket - mine ran pretty poor when that had gone - was only cheap from vauxhall, so worth checking before taking the head apart to change the head gasket

you have the C12NZ modulator problem which results in the engine dropping to 45bhp and getting overtaken by bin lorrys

Thats a dizzy/coil engine.

I had a similar problem with a loss in power, and then it would return to normal again.
It was the ignition coil.
