2004 Volvo V50 Engine power going

Engine Performance problem
2004 Volvo V50 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 63000 miles

Our Volvo V50 2.0 DS has been fantastic. Just recently it seems to be losing power when driving. This happens more when cold. It is like I am lifting off the power for a few seconds and when pulling out from a junction, unless you give it plenty on the accelerator, it can stall. I am thinking maybe an injector or glow plug problem!
