If you got a code reader see if there's any stored codes for misfire...

No lights or anything flashed up. I will keep reading on here and go to the garage with my findings and give them some possibles. Engine mount seems a popular theory.

You said the "car has little power", so if it begins to shake and rattle under load, I would say its a coil... I've seen some take a few minutes of driving before it spits a code. If it was still accepting proper throttle response and power I would say its something else....

I have to admit. When I say no power that could be because I was to cautious to give it more throttle so felt like there was nothing there. I just did not want to risk blowing something by putting my foot down harder.
