Being an older car, unvariably, it's best in my opinion to start cheap, without rebuilding the car. Check spark plugs, and/or replace. Check or replace spark plug wires next . assuming your engine lights aren't coming on when it is running, if they are, it could be faulty emissions system components or a vacuum leak in the fuel injection system, intake manifold or hoses. Check your fuel pressure regulator and/or replace. It could even need ignition coil and module replacement. Lastly, the fuel pump could be faulting... On an older vehicle such as this one, it's better to understand what kind of maintenance it has undergone. Good luck and start cheap!

1992 olds cutlass supreme wont accelerate when pushing the gas pedal

Check oil first, Low oil sensor will shut down if more than a quart low. Change fuel filter, could be fuel starvation, change the air filter. stopped up air filter will put MAF sensor out of range. PERFORM OBDII SCAN SOON.

Is your olds a throttle body injected or cylinder fuel injected? or is it still a carburator?
If it's the throttle body there has been many times those injectors begin to gum up

2.8 engine Would start when cool, but stall after

89 cierra? It should be DIS ignition so you can't have the timing too high. You said it has fuel and spark. Fuel pressure and injection pulse. Does it try to start if you spray carb cleaner into it?

Stalling issue

If your car has high miles and you haven't changed the coil packs, that may be your problem. Bad coil paks will cause hard starting, rough idle and stalling.
