I agree with CWebb, a clogged cat can cause what you're describing. If you can, try disconnecting the exhause before the catalytic converter, just for a test (car will be very noisy). If the power comes back, I would replace it.
By the way, there are no V-4 cars in the US, you have an inline 4.

The car is 13 years old. It might be time to move on.
