    Couple questions about the performance of my car. Just a quick
    history the subject line, and two transmissions replaced, the current
    has about 70K miles.

    Recently, my car starting hesitating when trying to accelerate up a
    small or large hill, and it's worse if I'm stopped at the bottom of
    the hill. If I let go of the gas peddle and apply again it usually
    helps. This is an automatic car. The RPMS are going, but the car
    doesn't feel like it's switching gears, it happens if I'm in 3rd or
    4th. Non of my indicator lights are on.

    Thanks for any help.

    Regards,

    The last time I had a car doing this, it turned out to be plug wires.
    More specifically the plug wire boots that were arcing through to the
    valve cover. YMMV
