1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Engine Size unknown Front Wheel Drive Automatic 167000 miles

My car wants to cut out as I am going down the road. It starts to miss real bad when I am going up hills and wants to stall on me at a stop sign or stop light. I have replaced the mass air flow sensor, and ingition module and it still is giving me trouble.
