Plugs and wires, air filters are a good start, and fuel filter. If this doesn't help consider checking the psi on the fuel pump.

1993 buick park avenue ultra car shuts off

Check the fuel pump and also the catalytic converter, if the car is running or idling o,k. then it is not the fuel pump but it could very well be a stopped up catalytic converter (a tell tale sign of this is balking or hesitation when this vehicle is on the highway in overdrive).
