fueling up

I have recently purchased a 2005 turbo diesel Prado with 130000 ks on it and have a problem with it that no one seems to be ale to solve.
If the car is driven up a hill and you take your foot of the throttle it will begin to miss fire or stop completely and is difficult to restart and when it starts there is quite a bit of smoke
the car is still under warrant and I would like to sort it before the $ have to come out of my pocket

does it drive fine in all other ways? or just up the hill
has it just happened ? has something been changed

keep an eye on the coolant level
if it is going down you may have a cracked head

has it had a service just recently?
is the fuel filter tight?
check the pressure in the fuel filter by operating the priming pump

Only happening when the car has been under load have had it serviced since the problem started dealership had the car for 3 weeks trying to sort it out and gave it back to me saying that it might be the injectors otherwise the car drives fine
coolant is fine no problem there
Have put new filters on the fuel line
they have put injector cleaner in it and said see if it comes good
