After running for 1/2 to 3 hours, the car stalls, stops; hard to restart. I've taken the car twice to my garage [nice folks and good for General Motors cars and have done well before this]. This time though, they take the car out for a 30 mile run and can't find anything. It may run for several weeks BUT THEN it happens again. I find it scary!!

I'm just having problems and I can't explain it in enough details to a mechanic so they can fix it. My car is fairly old, but b4 the problem it was doing just fine. It appears to stall or sputter when I'm going up hill at 60 mph and sputter violently when I press the gas even more to maintain that speed. If I'm in 4 gear and I switch back to a 2 or 3 when I make a turn it was sputter then also. I was just wonderin if you could make a suggestion on what it could be that's wrong. I also want to add, that I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but my car didn't start acting up until I had some new spark plugs put in...My car uses AC Delco, but I had an associate of mine to put some Champion spark plugs in..Could that be the problem as well?
