I had the same problem once in a pickup. It was water in the gas. First noticed it going up hills, later truck would only go 20 mph on flat roads. It would idle fine, just wouldn't pull. I'll bet you have a fuel delivery problem of some sort.

So is it like a flat spot in the throttle?
I had issues where my car would drive just fine untill going up a hill when i would have to downshift to make it. I was running dlidfis and after swapping back to stock ignition i found out one of my coils was going to hell. I would say check your coils and ignitors. Is your fuel filter clean? That could do it too.
