Try disconnecting the Mass air flow sensor - its a sensor that on the inlet / induction side - usually just after the air filter itself
THIS WILL PUT THE ENGINE LIGHT ON
but this should go back off once you reconnect it and do a few drive cycles
IF the suddenly seems alot better with it disconnected, i'd be mostly confident it'd cure the issue

The 1.8 has a well known problem with the variator that's probably not a bad place to start
Hi,
it changes the camshaft timing - so will be on the end of the camshaft (HEAD)
basically the same as the Alfa "twinspark" - Google it..!!
variator changes normally require specialist "locking" tools
does it "clatter" when you start it from cold..??, that was a sign on the Alfa of variator wear..

I think you might be best to get some live data..
Multiecuscan.
Ziggy might be close with is guess on the Maf.
Yes it don't have a mass air flow meter but it still has an airflow sensor.

Variator Solenoid will this be an issue with the engine? now if I accelerate, nothing then it picks up but still lacks a lot of power. My 1.1 106 had more power than this car I'm so very disappointed in this 1747cc HGT considering it should have 130BHP......
