More than likly the camshaft sensor. Try doing the paper clip test on it and see what codes you get. There is a how too on the site for the paper clip test and the codes.

My Omega is a later one and if any thing is a miss then it tells me that it has a auto gearbox ptroblem on the mid.

Post up the codes or code when you have them so we can advise more directly.

The engine and gearbox speak to each other.  If the engine or gearbox detect a fault, it may ask the other (depending on fault) to go into reduced power (limp) mode.

Paperclip it, see if there is issue with engine.  If no codes, change the autobox oil and filter.  Don't drive for too long with autobox in limp - it is not kind to it...
