For the past 8 monhs my car has been hesitating when going up hill at 50 - 60 mph. It runs fine on level road or down hill.
The rpm indicator bounces between 1,500 and 2,000.
If I step down on the gas pedal, it has good pick-up and no hesitation. The problem happens when I have relatively even pressure on the gas pedal.
It only does this when in gear, and runs smoothly when in neutral.
The car had this problem before the 100,000 tune-up, and still does after the tune-up.
