It sounds like you may have had multipule problems. The ignition module took care of your lack of spark problem, but have you checked your fuel pressure? The sluggish & lack of power could indicate a failing fuel pump or clogged fuel filter. According to my database your fuel pressure should be 9 to 13 psi. The cylinder compression figure that you stated is within specification.

Please let me know if this helps or if you have any further questions.

Thank you,
