If it happens under a load, it sounds like an engine miss. Has the check engine light come on? Have you checked fuel pump pressure? Vacuum leaks?

I did have the check engine light on but I repaired that by putting the'green'bolts instead of the black ones it had and the fuel pum is new. It shakes on high gear, or when it goes up a hill.

Thank you. :)

Based on your description, it sounds like either an engine missfire, lack of fuel pressure (could be a plugged filter), or the transmission actually slipping. When was the last tune up?

What do you mean the transmission is sliping? I did the tune up to the car&transmission. The fuel filter is recently replaced. Some 1 told me it could b the timing but the timing is non-adjustable in my car( Ford Windstar 2001 LX 3.8 Engine 2x4 front wheel drive, automatic). What du you suggest. :)
