Hi, it sounds like a possible MAF sensor issue, you can unplug it and try it to rule the sensor out. Do a search for MAF for loads of reading.

I find mine can feel very gutless going up hills on a low throttle as the autobox changes up to a high gear causing the revs to drop too much. A solution to this is to change to sport mode on the gearbox and it will change down and keep the revs above 2000rpm.
