this car starts and idles fine and runs smooth at low to moderate speeds. (0-55) when reacing speeds 60 mph and up and mostly when going on an upgrade or up a hill the car sometimes bucks and sputters. sometimes it also runs smoothe at high speeds from 60 -75. the problem seems to be getting worse. when going up hill at speeds of a steady 50 to 60 it runs ok. most problems of bucking are at speeds from 60 to 75.

When was the last tune up? Have you checked fuel pump pressure? Has the check engine light come on?
