Why won't my 1988 honda accord go up hills?

It sometimes dies when i start it and rmps are high in park but go down when i touch the gas. It seems like the motor is running good but it keeps overheating and refuses to go more then 15 mph up any hills. I'm not sure if the over heating has something to do with it, it wants to go but it can't, the training seems to shift okay it just seems like there's no power? Could it be the timing? Any advice will help!

A clogged catalytic converter would be the chief suspect.

Rubbish, try replacing the MAFS (mass air flow sensor)
