I would like to know if a Dakota pickup with a 3.9 L engine is fuel injected or has a carburetor?

Carburetors were gone by the late 1980's. The last one I remember was on my dream car, the 1989 Fifth Ave. 1986 Caravans with the Mitsubishi 2.6L was the last year with a carburetor on that model. Early fuel injected engines used one or two throttle body injectors, and ran about fifteen pounds of fuel pressure. A 1995 3.9L has an injector for each cylinder. That is a better system, and runs around 45 to 50 psi.
