I have a '96 Buick Skylark w/ a 3.1L V6 and 4sp A/T. When I travel up a hill, it'll stutter and stumble a little bit. If I push or lift the gas pedal away from where I am maintaining speed, it will go away. Also it occurs after it is warmed up. Speed is about 40-50 mph. I have had the transmission serviced a year ago, ignition system serviced about 10 months. Is there something I missed?

Fuel filter and possible clogging in the fuel injector , change the fuel filter and run some carb/fuel injection system cleaner though and go to the hill and try again ... Good Luck!

Sounds like you have a dirty air or fuel filter that can't handle the extra volume needed under load.

These are the symptoms of a throttle position sensor (tps) A shop with a computer that can graph this sensor can tell for sure.

You have spark tracking to ground from the spark plug cap.You may need to regap or replace the plugs if bad and apply spark plug grease to them so it will not arc to ground.
