    1994, 3.1, 244,000 miles

    Over the last two months it seems that my GP has lost considerable engine power. It does not seem to accelerate with the same power/thrust. Also, my gas mileage has dropped around 15-20%. I do use the A/C a considerable amount of the time more than two months ago and replaced the A/C compressor about two months ago.

    Change your plugs and wires first. Possibly fuel filter.
