i would say the tdc sensor that could be at fault but really you need to get the car to a garage that has a code reader to be sure and it would point out what the problem is rather than suggestions and spending money where not needed

I take it you don't have an owners manual. I thought that meant you were due a service - maybe not. I too have experienced the fault where the engine revs drop, if you pull over and restart the engine it should clear and the performance should come back. Phone the dealer and ask them, usually the engine management light comes on if there is an engine fault. Some makes of cars make the engine run poorly deliberately when a service is due so that you go to your local dealer and get them to service it. Ian
