how many km? if lots has the cam or timing chain ever been changed? check the compression in the cylinders, also have you done a tune up to it? i would check these things before buying a new distributor, but if it has over 250k miles a new distributor may be in order, but check the simple free things first

OK, one more reply....just realized these were all from you.

The code 43 is for a knock sensor circuit malfunction. The knock sensor is used to control ignition timing. With a knock sensor malfunction, the PCM is retarding ignition timing way too far, which will cause a lack of power, and will likely cause overheating as well.

Diagnose the DTC 43 and your low power issues should be alleviated.
