When driving at 50 to 60 it feels like I hit a bump and slows down also when pulling up a hill it slows down, but when it gets to level road it gets better.

Yep, it would check the catalytic converter and replace the fuel filter if you have not done that lately. Here is a guide to help and the location of the fuel filter in the images below.
