Narrative:

I was under instruction for an annual re-currency. We were conducting a missed approach off of GPS 29R under visual conditions. My instructor simulated a rollback. Norcal asked us to turn to 260 which we acknowledged. Our speed had slowed; and possibly we lost some altitude while I was bringing the power back up using the emergency control toggle for the fuel control unit. As we were rolling to 260; an aircraft passed directly under us very closely. The aircraft was going faster than us at the time.I am not certain if the aircraft had us visually; perhaps this is what the norcal controller was relying on. I believe we were not provided with adequate separation. I believe that we (the aircraft and my airplane) should have been given instruction to provide a larger degree of separation. One contributing factor could have been that we had slowed our airspeed during the simulated engine rollback maneuver. This was not communicated to ATC.
