Turbo II runs... badly

When I was on my way to work my car was running just fine. I let it do the typical 3,000RPM warm up for a few minutes and then started driving. About halfway there (only a 3 mile drive) I lost most power and the car started to sound really bad. After that it took about a quarter mile to get anywhere above 10MPH. I have good gas and my oil is good (I just changed it). I have a leaky injector, however, so the car has been flooding a lot lately (I have to constantly pull the injector fuse to clear it up). Does anyone have any ideas? I haven't checked the plugs either but they are new (as are the wires, battery, and battery terminals). None of the mods in my signature have been applied because I want to get the car running strong before I start to mod it (though I do have everything).

I meant the cold start... but I'll check that thanks

A compression test was done a few weeks ago and compression was at 90PSI on both rotors with a weak battery

Just put it in gear (w/ the clutch depressed) and the cold start assist will go away.

Check the injector wiring harness and the injector clips to make sure you have a good connection/ signal. When my harness took a **** I had similar drivabliity issues
