Unhappy Just put my 93 back on the road and it drives like its choking...

I parked the car about a year and a half ago because of a bad tranny and recently I had it fixed. Now I've noticed that the car feels like its choking and wanting to stall (although it doesn) when I'm at traffic lights, I've also had it cut off on my twice going up hills when I dont have my foot in the gas. I thought maybe it was because of the old gas that sat in the tank all that time, but I've burnt thru about 3 full tanks now and I've tried gas treatment, fuel injector cleaners. They helped some but it still feels like its choking when still, or sometimes between 55-66 mph. I was thinking maybe it was time to change the spark plugs, I dont know much about cars, so I'm kinda guessing here since the car hasnt had any real maintenance on it in a while, besides the oil filter and air being changed recently. Anybody have this problem or have any suggestions?

Well replaced the fuel filter and pcv valve and it helped a some but still ran rough. Then I replaced the plugs with some platinum ones (had one that looked like it had been thrown in a fire) and put a new set of wires on it and now the car drives better then ever. I actually broke the tires loose a few times today, thats the first time in a few years. I forgot how fun that lil car was to drive. LOL thanks everybody.
