Any common engine issues?

Went to start my Activa and the engine sound a lot rougher than usual but thought will see how it is in a min once its warmed up. Drove off and it had no power, floored in 1st it struggled to get to 20mph, when i pull off it feels like its going to stall. When i looked under the bonnet could see no leaks and coolant and oil were at the right levels, but there seemed to be a delay from pulling the throttle to the engine reacting of about 1 second.

Went to start it the next day and the car was back to normal. Something is obviously wrong but since it is ok now i do not know if its worth taking the garage. No Engine Management light came on.

Has anybody else had symptoms like this with the 2.0i Turbo CT engine? Its on 123,000 miles and is 18 years old.

Had the battery gone flat since it was last started? Sometimes this can leave the ECU in a funny state where it seems not to be running on all cylinders. Disconnecting and reconnecting the battery usually resets it, but maybe yours fixed itself.

Very possibly an intermittent throttle pot... They can play all kinds of nasty little tricks...
