For the engine to loose power, air, fuel or ignition (spark) is being lost or disrupted when you are going up/down hills.
This sounds electrical (loose connection) to me. It could be a fuel pump (in the gas tank) connection and you loose fuel pressure when in the hills.
I would check battery cables and look for anything loose under the hood. I would put a fuel pressure gauge on it and watch the pressure when the problem happens.
