Outside chance it could be a Lambda sensor, When you say flat under load, does the engine fade when pressing the accelerator?

Also not starting when hot, happened with my old 2.0 when the lambda sensor had blown.

I blew the sensor by shorting the battery on a jump start. So if you,ve recently jump started the car, it could be that.
