At 189,000 miles, with new plugs and wires in it, I might suspect that you are having problems either with a bad/weak coil or old injectors getting clogged up. There is a school of thought that says that cheap gasoline with a high ethanol content (maybe 20% ethanol) will eventually gum up the injectors. I am not 100% sold on it though.
So the next thing I would look into is checking the coils. Here is a guide that will help you get started there:
https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-test-an-ignition-system. I know yours is not exactly like this one, but I get the feeling that you have a good enough understanding to apply the article to what you know. Also, you will need a multi-meter to check resistance. Resistance should be less than 10 megohms.
If you cannot check it that way, you can get a spark tester from Autozone or Amazon and check the sparks at the cylinders. You will be looking for a miss at somerpm range. A miss could be absolutely no fire for a second or so, or just a weaker looking spark. Here is the spark tester that I have:

So try that and let us know.
