Hi,
Please understand, this vehicle isn't offered in the US, so I don't have manuals for it. However, I will try my best to help.
By placing your hand over the air intake, you limit the amount of air entering the combustion chamber. The first thing I think of is there is an engine vacuum leak at a different point on the engine allowing unmetered air to enter the combustion chamber.
Do me a favor. Take a look at this link. It explains how to locate a leak. See if you are able to find anything.

Also, let me know if you have a live data scan tool. Also, take a look at this link, it describes the most common symptoms of a failing crankshaft position. See if it mirrors anything you experience.

Let me know what you find or if you have questions.
Take care,
Joe
