I have changed plus wires, air filter,oil, and recently changed plugs couple weeks ago, also I have replaced fuel filter couple months ago and replaced fuel filter also with pump and when i go up hills (mostly) it cuts out sometimes when i have it on cruise control it does it also. Every once in a while it will foul the 2 front drivers side plugs out, so can that be the problem or do i need professional help tp look at the problem and does it need immediate attention.

sounds like possible fuel injector problem. a fuel injector balance test will be the next step and will have to be done at a shop
