1997 Plymouth Breeze

the car sometimes dies in the morning no matter how long I warm it up. Going up a hill it loses power.I recently got a new catylac converter put on and seems to run better but it still occasionally dies in the morning and loses power up a hill but not as much. For in stance goes from 55 to 40 before now goes from 60 to 50. Any suggestions?
appreciate it.
