Do you have a check engine light on with a code you can report? Have you been taking care of the basics like air filter, fuel filter etc. Have you checked for air leaks in the intake air hose or vacuum lines on the engine. Might be the fuel pressure regulator. Lot's of possibilities with a vehicle that old.

A few years back mine would shutter and die - at red lights, sometimes right when I started it, even on the highway at speed. Turned out to be the distributor.
