The engine of the car suddenly lost its power. It vibrates upon pressing the accelerator but car is not accelerated up to the desired speed. It looks as it has lost its soul. Mechanic says it could be an issue of the fault in of one of the four cylinders.

Hello,

I would do a compression test to make sure the engine is okay, then I would service the throttle bore becasue it sounds like you are in limp mode. Here are two guide to help get you started.
