1990 Legacy

[Edrina]

I have a 1990 leagacy that is give me a little problem. I it drives fine
untill I'm going up a steep hill then it acts like it want's to die. It
hasn't yet, but as my children say it can't beat an ant up the hill.
Does anyone have any suggestion on what the problem could be? I thought,
maybe the fuel filter but I am not sure.

Thank for any help!

CAT coverter pluuged up?
When is the last time you replaced fuel and air filter?
Or did a tune up?

About 25,000 miles ago I replaces the fuel filter and did a tune up. The air
filter is about 5,000 mile or so.. but it is clean right now.

I had similar symptoms in another car...kept dying as I went uphill. I had the
fuel filter replaced, and the fuel pumped checked out. Turned out to be some
sugar someone dumped in my gas tank as a prank (cute, huh?). You might have your
service station check to see if there is any sediment or foreign substance in
your tank.

Thanks, I didn't think of that. Do you know if you can unclog a CAT
coverter?
