Re: 2oo2 buick will not rev up or pull hills
You say that you have replaced the fuel pump, but did you check fuel pressure after that? Spark plugs that are white is a sign that the engine is running very lean. I would definitely check fuel pressure. You may also have an EGR valve problem. An EGR valve that is stuck open the cause a lean condition and no power on acceleration. Also I would suggest taking a fuel sample. Remove some gas and put it in a glass jar. Let it stand for a few minutes and see if it separates into two different looking fluids. If it does then gas is contaminated.

It's probably set one or more trouble codes in the computer if the car is shutting off like that. The first thing you should really do is get the car scanned to see if and/or what the codes are. This will usually lead you in the right direction to fix what ever is causing this issue.
Otherwise, it could be something like a sensor shorting out, an ignition problem, fuel delivery issue, etc. Lots of possibilities, but start with basic checks, making sure everything is connected, no vacuum leaks, etc....and get the car scanned.
