sounds like you just need a tune up. how many miles / what car / what engine / any recent maintenance you've done would help.
clean air filter
get some new spark plugs.
change distributor cap and rotor
check valve lash
clean throttle body and iacv
check throttle cable tension
try some of that fuel injector cleaner
if your clutch is dying, your engine will rev up quickly when you're on the throttle but you won't go anywhere. the easiest way to check for that is go up a hill, put it in 5th or 4th and stomp on it. if your engine just pulls slowly (like it should) then everything's fine. if it keeps reving up and down change your clutch.
the cv boot leaking grease will bite you in the *** eventually. change it as soon as you can. but that shouldn't have any effect on your engine's performance. it will just click when you turn at low speeds.

Probably needs a tune up , cap, rotor, plugs, fuel filter,
NO more ARCO
could be if you were messing around with your TPS but probably not

Fouled plugs? or maybe cap and rotor? Possible clogged fuel filter? if you don't know how to work on it yourself buy a chilton manual or take it to a mechanic.
