If this is the EX16P engine with the Big black plastic inlet manifold?
then check the small diameter black pipe that runs from a solenoid on the left of the manifold (as you look at the engine)to the underside of the manifold.
Which is really easy to see if the car is on the ramp up in the air.
Not so much when it's on the ground.
The inlet manifold contains a vale system that is for varying inlet valve length.
non function will give just your symptoms.

May well be coil pack again breaking down under load , assume plugs also are o.k .If you could run a scan it may throw a code/s and eliminate guess work ..
