Question type: Maintenance & Repair

When I come to a slight hill it looses power I give it gas it stalls if I
feather the pedal it slows down to about 15 mph. When it starts to
choke out its like its dieseling or running out of gas.when it does
stall I have to sit there for approximate 10 mins then it'll start up
and I can go maybe about 1/2 mile at a time.

How many miles on the car? When was the last major service? Is it the original catalytic converter? put your hand behind the tailpipe with the engine running- if the converter is clogged, you won't feel much exhaust coming out-
