Very unlikely that you have a 4.2L, as they appeared in the later V8s only.
Unless someone changed the engine out. ;)  Our V8 engines are completely
computer controlled.  Get someone or the dealer to read out the fault codes
and you'll be able to isolate your problem.  I bet it is a dead O2 sensor.
Good luck.
