95 with poor acceleration

My 95 Explorer is having serious acceleration problems. this morning I barely got it to 65 with the pedal to the floor. Sometimes the performance is slightly better when the temperatures get in the mid-30's. The engine runs smoothly (idle, low speed and high speed) and the transmission does not seem to be slipping. Everything sounds right, but I just and get up and go anywhere. I replaced the sparcs and the wires since they were due, I also had the injectors cleaned along with the intake. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try cleaning the MAF sensor. I did it 2 weeks ago and smoothed out the idle, got 2mpg better with last tank. Better acceleration also. Make sure you get an electrical parts cleaner that won't harm plastic and leaves no residue.

could also be a dirty fuel filter or bad fuel pump.
