Renault Laguna motor loses power/torque (after 10-15 minutes)

Car: Renault Laguna
Variant: 1.6
Model Year: 2001
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
The motor loses power after approx. 15 minutes driving, no torque above 3000 rpm.
Motor is running fine initially (power & torque ok)then the problem occurs. In idle mode (no gear) the motor revs up normally but when driving the issue returns.
No alarms etc..

Does anybody recognize the issues ? Any ideas ?? Thx !

Sounds like you have either a crank sensor fault or mass air flow sensor fault, as it happens at around 3000rpm i would lean towards crank sensor
