Strange loss of power

Was driving my t2 the other day and all of a sudden lost power, as if I blew a apex seal. Had the car towed back to my house then two days later turned it over and it started fine. Drove it for the weekend and when I got home, same thing happened. Is it one of the coils overheating or something like that? I'm pretty fustrated with this problem, any help would be great

Check your catalytic converter!

The catalyst could have shrunk and started blocking the flow of air, but when you towed the car, it rolled away from the exit and allowed air through again.
