if you had a leak, i think you would be losing pressure and not still be at 15 psi (which is normal).
have you lost power suddenly or has it been a slow progression to slow over time?
i would look towards your spark. how old are your plugs / wires? losing a good spark will make it feel sluggish compared to how it used to.

Granatelli is what im going with.
plugs only have 1000 miles on them they should be good (assuming there were no issues with them when you put them in).
how many miles do you have on your car? probably your wires do need replaced.

yeah, definitely time to get some new wires (and maybe take care of whatever other maintenance that may have been put off, yes im guilty too)
