Are you just going to keep on replacing some parts until you smooth 'er out OR do you have some basic d.i.y. knowledge and you figured all that stuff was needed before looking at simple stuff too. If you are serious then reply with what else you looked at.

what did you do or check before you did plugs,wires,cap,rotor,fuel filter. I do not have a shop manual on your 3.0 nor am I looking at your engine. So we start with the basics.1990 I would assume injectors and electronic ignition
