Although the B20 has timing gears rather than a timing belt, I'm kinda thinking along the same lines as Phil. A failed cam gear outer ring can cause the valve (and ignition) timing to retard which, in turn, will reduce performance.

One thing to check is to rotate the engine to TDC and see if the rotor is pointed exactly to either cap contact for cylinder #1 or #4. Also verify the rotor is turning when you crank the engine over.
