Message:
I have a '90 3.9 with well over 200K on the clock. My main problem is that it hesitates a lot when I try to accelerate with any swiftness.
I have little mechanical knowledge so I doubt I could pull off any major work on my own.

What would the problem be and is is worth taking it in?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a million,
Oliver

When's the last time you changed your plugs, wires, rotor, and cap? Never give up on a motor till you've done all the basics first

Thank you for the advice.

About 2,300 miles ago I had a full tune up with new wires, plugs, belts etc.

I dunno if that means that they are already shot or what.

And I dunno if this could be related to the problem I get with the engine reving way up when I accelerate...

If you had a tune up 2,300 miles ago... You should still be fine there... Try cleaning your carb...

If that dont work, check your fuel pump.
