What are the symptoms of having low tranny fluid in a 2002 Oldsmobile alero

A low transmision fluid will will cause the transmision to slip . When you press the gas the engine will rev up ( while in Drive) but the car won't move or will move a little . If the fluid gets low enough it the car won't move at all.

Van acts like the fuel filter is plugged, and losses power when going up hills

Do you have a fuel pump? If its bad or weak, you aren't getting enough gas to your engine. Has anyone thought of the filter in your gas tank?

So was it tuned up to fix a problem, or did the problem start after someone "tuned it up" what was done on a tune up? fuel pressure needs to be verified good.
