Default Strange engine power loss symptom

Hallo all, after advice....

After all I have done today regards trying to sort out my ABS issues, tonight i go out for a run and notice that i have a lack of engine power - engine still starts, idles, runs and revs fine ans smoothly, but it is WAY down on power - feels about half power....no engine warnings on dashboard though.....only the existing ABS, traction and stability which have been there since I bought the car....

Any thoughts?

Disconnect the negative battery cable for 30 sec. then reconnect it. Let it idle for about 1 min and take it for a drive and post back.
