About a year ago I had the heads replaced, as well as the intake gasket, and thermostat. About a week ago while going up a hill it lost power, was told it was the coil packs so I replaced them. But the car is still doing the same thing.

Is the check engine light on or has flashed?

Check the exhaust system for restriction and also do a fuel pressure check-there's more to this problem-start here

The check engine light would come on for a few minutes and then disappear. I will definately check these things out. Thanks
