Performance and jerking during acceleration on Citroen C2

Good day, I own a 2006 Citroen C2 with a 1.6 16v VTS 90kW (Gasoline) engine and 200,000 km on the odometer. Today I noticed that when accelerating, the engine power dropped and then returned after a second, as if the engine was misfiring. On my way home, the engine light came on and the car completely lost power, the engine seemed to be running on 3 cylinders. When accelerating, the RPM only went up to 1500, and it was impossible to move the car. What could it be? Does anyone have a similar experience or advice on what to check?

A 2006 Citroen C2 with a 1.6 16v VTS engine experienced a sudden drop in power during acceleration, followed by the engine light turning on and the car losing power, seemingly running on three cylinders. The problem could be due to misfiring, possibly caused by faulty ignition coils or spark plugs. It is suggested to inspect and replace any damaged or worn components to resolve the issue.

Start by checking the ignition coils and spark plugs, as these are common causes of misfiring and power loss. Inspect them for any visible damage or wear. If possible, replace any faulty components. Let me know if this resolves the issue or if you need further assistance.
