Those symptoms can be cause by high-voltage breakdown, which is loss of power
because of losses in the low-voltage side of the ignition circuit or the coil.
There's a point where the high-voltage is not enough to fire the plugs.
Acceleration or climbing a hill can require more voltage than is available.
