Sounds like a throttle body to me...

My viggen was having random "loss of power" issues, more noticeable on the highway, but go to be so bad that I would notice it during city and parking lot driving...what it turned out to be was the resistor tracks in the throttle body. The TBs are all electronic in these cars, and when you press the pedal, it moves one side, but the other side is actually what controls the engine throttle (via electromagnets & such). I disassembled the TB as much as possible and sprayed some contact cleaner in there and worked the throttle back and forth a bunch to "wipe" off the tracks, cleaning the carbon build up off (since I couldn't disassemble it all the way to see the tracks & clean w/alcohol & a cotton swab).
easy fix, & been working perfect ever since! Hope this helps...
