Backfires and loss of power

I think it’s a sensor that has gone bad but I have now replaced my coil packs and my cam sensor and the loss of power on now seems more noticeable. I’m slowly running out of idea of what could be causing this.

Cam sensor would not cause the problem. The crank sensor would be a possibility.

If that’s not it you might have a clogged cat, if you have them, but it will behave as you are describing. Tough to say based on so very little information, but either of my guesses are founded and possible and hopefully get you pointed in the right direction.
