You said change the transmission fluid, check the alternator and battery cables, and that should fix it?

The not going up hills part? I have a 1997 Saturn SL (got it a month ago), and as of last night, you can put the pedal to the floor and it won't gain any speed going up a hill. I found that repeated pressing of the gas will at least get it up the hill without stopping or overheating. Any clues on this? (I JUST changed the in-line fuel filter last week)

More than likely it is transaxle related. Check the transmission fluid when hot; if good, replace the transmission fluid and filter. Good luck.
