I'm thinking it's a possible dodgy cam sensor.
Are you getting a check engine light? I’ve just found dodgy cam sensor in one of my Baleno’s, it was causing a misfire intermittently sometimes stalling the motor, other times it just felt like a gearshift clunk as it’s a auto.
Each time the check engine light would come on. I’m assuming your G16B is a Baleno motor?
There’s a couple of ways to run diagnostics on them if it is. First option find someone who has an OBD1 code reader. Despite a bunch of internizzle posts that state they’re OBD2, they aren’t and won’t work with an OBD2 reader.
Second way is what Kfal points out, bridge the ‘diagnostic switch’ terminal to the ground terminal of the diagnostic plug which sits in the relay box under the bonnet. You then count the flashes of the check engine light, ie 4 blinks and a short pause followed by 7 blinks = diagnostic code 47. This is the code for cam sensor.
