1990 celica cant acclerate

I have a 1990 celica hatch automatic with 33x,xxx miles on it. the cars always had problems like it would suddenly turn off or the rev would go high but all of thats been fixed

recently the car started losing power and it cant really accerlate to a high speed and speed past 30 and the car will start to shake a lil as if it was gonna turn off and even if i floor it at high speed it dosnt really go anywere and if i use overdrive the rpm shoots way higher then usuall

do i need new engine or is it other problem? my friend said it oculd be distributor?

How recently have you done a tune up?
Plugs, cap, rotor, ect.
Your fuel filter may be clogged, [unless that's been done recently].
Your MAP sensor may also be going bad.

Probably your throttle body needs to be cleaned.
