   If theres excess engine movement and the exhaust is moving then sounds like the bottom engine mount has worn. Not sure that this would cause a loss in power though tbh.

    Get a compression test done also hook it up to a diagnostics machine see if theres any fault codes.

    Serious, just had this on mine.
    
    Running on three cylinders, loss of power, car was vibrating.
    
    Was an injector wiring fault.
