Compression

Try cleaning the throttle body around the butterfly. Gas carbon will build up in the throttle body and that will cause one to stall or not run good. I just use starting fluid and screw driver and rag, does a good job. Hope this fixes it, Mitchell.

Running rough - hesitant

you may also want to consider that the coil pack is failing... i remember when my windstar coilpack failed i had an awful time just getting up a small hill... can't recall if it shuddered tho.

Stalling on hills

Hi,
Have you had your intake manifold cleaned out before? They can really get gunk-ed up. It only requires some Throttle Body Cleaner to be sprayed inside the intake. Be sure that the engine is NOT running when you do that.
Also spark plugs do not come pre-gapped. You need to adjust them to the correct gap.

Cheers,
Ken

Air filter blocked or drawing air through leaking or holed air pipe. Otherwise its the air flow meter
