First have the engine control module (PCM) scanned for fault codes, next if that yields no results have the fuel pressure checked under a load while driving and duplicating the power loss, you may have a failing fuel pump. The least likely possibility is that the exhaust system is somehow restricted, in that case you would need a shop to do what is called a exhaust backpressure test.

P0304 misfire losing power especially going uphill.

Question edited. It is 'P-Zero', not 'P-Letter Oh'.

Help in the link. By substitution and swapping the parts you have, you can work out what part is faulty, or just take it to an auto-electrician.

Hi my 02 avensis verso totally loses power when hot going up a hill or incline..really embarrising...cleaned ecg valve any other ideas

Hi,
The air filter can sometimes be a good place to start, as a slightly blocked/dirty/damaged one can give the car near normal operation on flat roads but when going uphill make it slow right down.

would suggest you try that first. If that doesn't work it could be a faulty/blocked fuel filter or dodgy turbo or slipping clutch or air/fuel mix issue (faulty sensor).

Losing power when its below half full of gas

Pressure test the fuel system to measure the pressure regulator to ensure correct fuel pressure under all driving conditions. Do the test with a less than 1/2 full tank of fuel.

2003 Trailblazer loses power, I am getting codes P1271 and P1271p/d

#PIT3138A: 02-05 Chevrolet, Buick, Oldsmobile and GMC Mid-Sized Utilities Reduced Power Light On and DTC P1680 P1221 and/or P1271 Stored in the PCM - kw fan clutch SES light power MIL 4.2 LL8 - (Nov 1, 2004) 
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom described in the PI.
Condition/Concern:
Reduced power light on and DTC P1680 P1221 and/or P1271 stored in the PCM 
Recommendation/Instructions:
Monitor the 5V reference to the Accelerator Pedal Position ( APP ) sensor, circuit 1274, using Peak Min/Max on a Fluke 87. Refer to Si document 1454678 for the 5V reference schematics. Command the fan clutch control "on" with the Tech 2 at 50%. If when commanding the fan clutch on, the 5V reverence spikes to battery voltage, the concern is the 5V reference shorted to battery voltage intermittently inside cooling fan clutch. Replace the fan clutch to repair this concern. 

Please follow this diagnosis process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed. If these steps do not resolve the condition, please contact GM TAC for further diagnostic assistance.
Models:
(02 - 05 Chevrolet Trailblazer and Trailblazer EXT) and (02 - 05 GMC Envoy, Envoy XL and Envoy XUV ) and (02 - 05 Buick Rainier) and (02 - 04 Oldsmobile Bravada)

Losing power when I accelorate.

Fuel filter is the main culprit when you lose power going uphill. Going level or downhill means that the engine doesn't have to work all that hard and doesn't demand much fuel, so a partially clogged filter can usually flow enough to allow the car to run smoothly. Going uphill requires signficantly more fuel, and if the filter is clogged up, it won't be able to flow enough fuel. This will bog the car down and cause you to lose speed. Change your fuel filter.
