Vehicle climbing is difficult due to many different reasons. The most common is a clogged car fuel filter. When operating, impurities of gasoline are retained on the filter, after a while, the fuel filter is clogged, causing the car to lack fuel. At this time, the car going uphill needs more fuel, leading to the old car's situation that is difficult to climb uphill - the engine is stalled.
