Why would a 1997 Ford Taurus backfire and miss going uphill but run great on the flat or downhill?
Give it a tune up Sounds like a worn timing gear. Mike It may be that you have floating trash in your gas tank. Because of the age of the car some metal flakes may be in your gas tank. Check and may be replace the gas filter. Also, just to be sure there is no trash in the carb/injetor soak a couple of cotton swabs in acohol and swab out the carb/injetor. The acohol will dry fast and not be a problem when you start the car. Rebekah Saw (and drove) this same problem for months. Finally found out it was an intermittent MAP sensor. It's between you air filter and air intake. Approximately $300 dealer only item.

How do you know if your going uphill or downhill by looking at a contour map?
If contour lines on a map are spaced closely together, it indicates a steep slope, possibly an uphill area. Conversely, if contour lines are spaced far apart, it suggests a gentle slope or a downhill area. By observing the pattern of contour lines and their spacing, you can determine the direction of the terrain—whether it's going uphill or downhill.
Why does a bus going uphill travel more-slowly than going?
A bus going uphill must overcome the force of gravity pulling it back down, which requires more energy and makes it move more slowly. Going downhill, the bus benefits from gravity assisting its motion, allowing it to travel faster.
If you're driving on a narrow road in the country going uphill and a car is coming at you going downhill who has the right of way?
