Could be your vacuum hoses or the MAF unit. The hoses are prone to perishing. The earlier MAF Mass Air Flow sensors also were troublesome. You looking at £140ish for the MAF unit, unless you can source on cheaper else where.

Hi
the ECU light coming on is in deed the Airflow meter
these early models suffered from a bad batch
the engine will go it 'limp home mode'
this is why you have no power
i would expect the next bit to read
'after stopping and starting it seems fine again'
until i hit a hill or boot it
hope this helps
regards
GM
