The fixes start with air filter ensure that it is not plugged or clogged with dirt. In older vehicles ensure the oil crankcase filter in the air filter housing is clear. Also check the PCV valve for proper use.
Spark plugs and wires.
-Ensure proper gaping of the plugs in many cars this is available on the stickers under the hood or in the owners manual. Otherwise see maintenance manual for gaping.
If these do not fix your problem the next thing to check would in many cases be the coil pack or coil. In many cases if the coil is shorting out even in just one cylinder it will cause problems with acceleration and uphill travel.
Changing your fuel filter is also another item you could try in many cases it can be done in your driveway. * Be sure to put a catch pan under the filter to catch fluids Also be sure to release the pressure in the injectors at the release point on many injector assemblies.
Barring these easier fixes check with your local mechanic to have him check things such as transmissions, clutches, emissions, cylinder compression or restricted exhaust systems.
