Your engine is under less load when going downhill, so that may be why the temperature decreases when going downhill.

There's any number of reasons why the car could be overheating. The most common is probably the thermostat.

You said you replaced it, but with what brand? Honda or aftermarket? Aftermarket ones can sometimes cause problems because they don't always meet the necessary specifications...
