While idle, car shutters. Press on accelerator car slow to speed up. Responds sluggish at certant terrains. Going up hill it crawls, about to shut off.
was fine a week ago and then all of a sudden. Also while idle, car misses a beat. Idle rate good for a minuit and then ! What is this? How can I fix. It's been good reliable transportation.

Try the basics like maybe one of your spark plug wires is bad change them. Also check that the catalic converter is not bad clogged. And ofcourse the fuel filter. Start by wires and fuel filter.
