it makes a slight pinging sound when you are making it excelarate and when trying to go up hills on the highway, it is hard to keep the spead limit on the hills it will drop from 65 to about 50

sounds like a really tired engine to me, 20 years old now and a 4 banger at that. you need to check the compression in the cylinders to see if the rings or valves are worn out before you do anything else and waste any money on parts. the readings should be at least 80 psi and all of them should be within 10% of each other.
