Drove the car for two days no problem. now all of sudden the car acts like it wants to cut off while at a stop. I’ve also notice it acts like it hesitates to go uphill.

Hello,

This sounds like your vehicle could have a plugged fuel filter. In the diagrams down below I have included the instructions for the removal and installation of the vehicle's fuel filter, which is an integral part of your vehicle's fuel pump assembly. Please go through this guide and get back to us with how everything turns out.

Thanks,
Alex
