Default please help !

When car cold it sounds fine if gas pedal not applied,when I press gas pedal it roars and doesn't have much power ( also fuel smells from exhaust).When it gets hot (after 5-10 min )power comes back and everything is fine till steep hill when it loses power again ( decelerate).No engine light is on .It has 120000 miles on it.

Please help !
Thanks !!!!!

sounds like dozens of possible things from plugs (as mentioned) to fuel pressure, to broken flex plate, and much other stuff.

Yes bad spark plugs, or bad plug wires. Or the other mentions also could be causing it.
