Have you inspected your plugs/wires/cap/rotor? How's the air filter? Fuel filter? Check on these things and if they are good, I would think that you may have a problem with the TPS. Are you getting the check engine light?

I would take care of that exhaust leak. It may not be the only cause of your problem but it will affect how the car runs as it robs it of needed back pressure.
