One of the common reasons for a Kia Picanto losing power is a clogged fuel filter. Have you checked or replaced yours recently? A dirty or clogged fuel filter can restrict fuel flow to the engine, causing a decrease in power.

Another possibility is a faulty mass air flow sensor. This sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine and adjusts the fuel mix accordingly. If it's not functioning properly, it can lead to a decrease in power. Consider bringing your car to a mechanic to have the sensor checked and replaced if necessary.

You may also want to check the spark plugs and ignition coils. These components play a crucial role in the combustion process and can affect engine performance if they are worn out or faulty. Consider having these checked and replaced as needed.

Finally, make sure your car's air filter is clean and not clogged. A dirty air filter can restrict the amount of air entering the engine, leading to a decrease in power. Check and replace your air filter regularly to avoid this issue.
