2003 Buick Rendezvous

We thought that the suv wasn't starting because of the battery so we replaced it. Then when we would drive it it would cut off completely and then restart. We tested the alternator and that was ok. Someone checked the spark plugs and said that they were the problem. Could that it the reason or could it be something else. I don't believe that the car has had a tune-up and we have only had it for a year. It's mileage it 83k. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi:
Old plugs can cause a hard start, but that usually doesn't happen all at once. Is the check engine light on? Have you checked the fuel pressure? Does it run properly once started?
