Default Losing power, need some help

Seems like I have lost ALL power coming from my engine. I have an EM1 with a stock b16A2. I just replaced my air intake temp sensor. I currently have an exhaust leak (need to replace a gasket).

I have no power when I step on the gas. From a dead stop I have to rev it pretty high (usually above 3.5k) and then ease off the clutch. I cannot make it up any sort of incline without the engine just dying. It seems like it is about to die. Any thoughts?

I havent abused my clutch in a while. Normally its all casual local road driving. This is my 2nd clutch in which i replaced it back in 2002.

When stopped, does the engine sound fine? If so, I would guess clutch.

once the rpms drop, the engine stutters a little (like its about to die) then it idles fine.
