Perhaps one or two plugs inoperative therefore dramatically reducing acceleration.

SOURCE: I need to know where the thermostat is in a 2004 DODGE DAKOTA 3.7

follow the upper radiator hose to the engine, drain about 1/2 gallon of coolant and then pull upper hose off at the engine, look inside the metal large nipple, that is the thermostat.

Car is not breathing correctly
The throttle sensor is on the side of throttle body opposite the throttle cable from otherside. If you can use the scanner to read the voltage with key on, slowly depress accelerator and watch for any erratic voltage jump. You may also want to check vehicle speed sensor reading with the scanner while some else is driving. Erratic voltage/signal reading from this sensor can make the vehicle buck and surge also.

Did you replace the fuel filter? That is the first place to look when you can't get full power on acceleration.
