Why would a 1991 Chevy Lumina 3.1L only go 10-15 mph uphill on the highway even after the fuel filter and spark plugs and spark plug wires have been changed?

Have you had the catyltic converter checked? Sounds like it might be blocked. Get a vacuum gage and conect it to a good vacuum source and hold the idle speed at about 2500 rpms and watch the gage ,if it drops slowly the converter is blocked. You might also want to check your transmission oil. If it isn't circulating properly you might be burning the bands on your transmission with the resistance of going up hill.

My 92 5.7 had a similar issue. Changed the plugs, wires, distributor, fuel filter, air filter, coil, checked for vac leaks - nope. still there. Then the guy at Autozone who also had a 5.7 said it may be the EGR valve - a built in vac leak when they go. Yes - that fixed the problem.

Gravity. Or your fuel pump is bad. There should be enough pressure from your fuel pump to push the fuel to the injectors. A clogged filter could do it also. I would change the filter first.
