Likely caused by a bad filter that allows air to circulate in the engine, also could mean you have bad pistons, alternator, converter, or perhaps a misfire in the engine, if not then there could be something else wrong in the engine
Best option is to have your car dianosed

Why would a 1993 Olds Acheiva stallout and die whenever it's in gear and idle rough but it will stay running in neutral?
Most of the time rough running and stalling is due to vacuum leaks. There is more of a load on the engine when it is in gear, so that lends itself to stalling out. When I look for vacuum leaks, I have the engine idling (maybe you need a friend to keep it from stalling) and then spray carburetor cleaner around the various hoses & gaskets that could be leaking. Any increase in the idle speed would be an indicator that you have a leak in that area.
