I got my 1992 GS and I got some problems since last week and I don't know where to look.

When I'm driving and get it to 2500 rpm it has no power (mostly third gear).
When I am driving the highway at 120 km/h and floor the gas pedal I feel like there is no reaction (throttle body is full open but it has no sign of accelerating).
Sometimes it goes away when I slowly pull the gas pedal up and then floor it again or downshift and back again but that's not really fun to do. There is no difference when I got a cold or warm engine. It runs on 4 cylinders.

Can it be a sensor/or something else?
 
It is a non turbo. That engine doesn't even wake up until 4000 RPM.
Flooring the car at low rpm and high speed just allows for more air to come into the engine, your ECU decides on the fuel. It will accelerate however it will being weak at low RPM's.

If I'm mistaken, run a compression test.
