If the fuel pump is working and the fuel filter is fine what else could make car start idle and shake and then it turn off?

This could be the IAC motor, vacuum leak, bad spider injector, weak fuel pump. bad PCM for starters. Let's start by running the codes this guide can help:

Will it run on starting fluid? This can tell you if the fuel pump is bad or a bad spider injector.
