It has 120,000 miles with no problems until now. the engine is running rough and when accelerating, the engine sputters. when cruising at highway speed (60mph) in 4th gear, as soon as the engine has the slightest bit of load on it, for instance going up a slight incline, the car begins to shudder and lose power, almost like it's missing. If I shift down to 3rd gear, things get better, but it still seems to lack power. Any ideas? I'm praying that it's something simple like plug wires or a clogged fuel filter, but I have a bad feeling it's something much more serious. I've had the problem for a while, but haven't seem any drop in mileage. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
