I own a 1991 buick regal (yes i need a new car) but when i slow down or stop the car stutters. It's almost as if the car is going to turn off. What can i do on my own without bringing the car into a shop, or do i need to bring it to a shop ASAP?

Change your filters, fuel and air first. Also the pcv valve. If this dont do it move to plugs and wires. If it still acts up you gotta start looking at the fuel pump.

Sounded like ur car could used a good tune-up right about now.. just to say the least. I would take it to some mechanic that u can trust so u dont get ripe off. And suggest that they do a winter maintenance on the car to avoid further costly problem if u were to delay it further.
Good luck!

your problem is that your torque converter clutch is not disengaging when the trans downshifts.the solenoid is the culprit
some models are pricey to fix but given the age you can locate the connector on the trans and unplug it . this may cause a check engine lamp but will stop the concern and prolong the failure of your transmission,

Vacuum leak, spark plugs, spark plug wires, cap&rotor.
Replace these one at a time until it goes away.

check your vaccuum hoses for a leak. one of them is cracked somewhere.
