Vibrating problems

Toyota RAV4 2006  105000 miles
It has occurred to me that, when driving in hot places and along an uphill uneven road, the car won't go over 50 mph and the engine starts vibrating as if were about to stall. In two opportunities, my Rav did not move any more but the engine kept working. After waiting for 20 minutes, I started driving normally, but still with the problem appearing on uphill roads. After changing the fuel pump, the vibrating of the engine disappeared but the speed still won't go over 50 mph when ascending. Something new now is that, when the car is stopped, it sometimes shakes as if it wanted to stall. I personally believe it has something to do with the fuel system.

I had a similar problem with an Ibiza 2009 and the problem was solved by changing the ignition coil. You should check how your vehicle's ingnition solenoid is.

The fuel filter is located on the driver's side under the engine air filter's box. You will need to remove this box in order to work comfortably.
