Crank sensors are prone on these cars and this type of sensor loses power as it heats up so this falls in line with your symptoms.
It is located at the back of the engine and faces the gearbox above the sump. Its black and held by a small bolt (7mm head I think). Try this first.
The second part that is a common fault is the coolant temperature sensor. If it doesn't tell the ECU the engine is hot, it will overfuel badly and choke the engine. It is on the water elbow at the front right of the engine as you look under the engine. Usually brown in colour but yours may be black, check before changing.
