Default 93 Ford tempo gl misses

The car will miss when it gets between 40-60 mph. Also it seems like when its on a small slope down it will stall, than take a minute for me to start it back up. It's been stalling like this for a while, but very rarely and only on certain inclines, the missing seems to be something that came up quite recently. The only thing I had changed was the Throttle voltage because the car had a high idle, this was done at a shop. Not sure how old the wires are plugs are but that is what i'm going to check. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Would like to add that I have replaced wires and noticed that one was in pretty bad shape and had rust falling out of it. This may have solved the missing problem but I will need to drive it a bit more to find out. Would also like to add that there is a shuddering from when I shift from reverse to neutral, or neutral to drive and vice versa.
