I say start with the litte things maybe switching out fuel filter, checking feul line pressure, changing the plugs. Is it throwing any codes? And do you mean it only does it on hills?

More than likely it's the IAC. The cylinder shaped solenoid bolted to the throttle body. If it'll do it just sitting at your house, try whacking it with a wrench to see if it clears up, if it does you know that's your problem.
