I recently replaced the fuel filter, spark plugs and wires, oil change and filter, new exhaust, worked fine for about a day then while I was going up a hill my car started to sputter turns out that a spark plug wire had poped off the distributor cap replaced the wire and now I have no power going up hills and it seems to be getting worse

Have the ignition coil tested-fuel pressure check, you need a fuel pressure tester hook up at the fuel rail test port to check
