I have a 97 cutlas and it will turn over and start but the engine shakes real bad and dies after a couple of seconds of running. I changed the fuel filter and that didn't fix it. And right b4 it's dies it trys to back fire. I checked the exhaust and there was plenty of exhaust coming out

Clean out the idle air control valve and the EGR valve and see what happens.
