Engine Mechanical problem
1995 Oldsmobile Silhouette 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

On flat it drives smooth no loss of power..
But soon as we start up a hill power level is very low.
EX.45miles but soon as we get half way up the hill it drops to 10 miles and we try to put it on drive 2 and over drive and still no real power.
I did the basic on the car,
Gas filter,oil filter,oil, spark plugs and wires, air filter.
I even check the fuel injection and O ring and they are fine.
I check the are carb and thats fine too.
I am lost now.
HELP HELP....
Thanks.

Lack of acceleration,chugging,hesitating,bogging,misfiring etc. could be caused by one of the following below:

Oxygen sensor.
Catalytic converter.
Fuel injectors dirty/sticking.
Mass airflow sensor/Airflow meter.
Throttle position sensor.

Knock sensor
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve

False air leakage.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
