mine did this but it's x16xe.
Check the top connecters on the spark plugs are tight and not lose, if there tight then new spark plugs mate, try cleaning your air filter aswell if you have a performance one, just pour petrol through it and you should see it coming out black the otherside, then let it dry, or blow with a compressor if you have one.

if the bottom pully has slipped then you'r loking at bent valves mate, as these engines have got no room for error when it comes to timing.
if its just worn the wodruf key (more than likely) then your loking at checking to see if the hole/slot in the crank for it isnt worn beyond being servicable... or its new crank time...
just pull the bottom pully off and check it..
also have you even tryed doing a paperclip test?
