Default when the car is at an angle it shutter's?

so today i was stopped at a light on a hill and my car was angled upwards. then i notice my car struggling to stay alive. I watch my rpm almost drop to zero then the car rev'd itself (i guess so that the car wont stall out?). but after i started driving on level ground it was fine. I was also pulling out of a gas station last night and was stuck on a hill towards the exit waiting for traffic to pass by and my car started to do it again! I know this might be a stupid guess but I think that when the car is on a steep angle the motor oil in the engine is pushed towards that angle, thus resulting in non even distribution of oil into each cylinders? might i also add i hopped a really nasty curb 2 days ago and the curb might of dented my oil pan (but im not to sure). anyone else notice anything like this with there vehicle?

I'm not sure what you mean by unequal oil to each cylinder. Oiling wouldn't have anything to do with your issue: fuel would. It may be that your fuel pump is beginning to fail. Check it out.

The fuel sock on the fuel pump might be out of alignment. Pull it out and via searching...find out exactly what the angle should look like when reinserted. Good luck!
