Tercel engine issue

I've got a '95 tercel. 4cyl 1.5L/ 4sp man. It makes no pwer in lower RPM's. You have to squueze the s#*t out of the engine to get it to move without the engine shaking/ shuddering/ stalling/ knocking. It used to run fine & make good power, now you have to get the RPM's really high before you can shift to the next gear. Once you do get it up to speed it runs smooth & makes decent power.What could it be?

Any number of things.

TPS is my initial thought, but it could go on from there. Get an FSM and start testing things.
