Engine Performance problem
2002 Pontiac Grand Prix 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 130k miles

My car is running like it has bad fuel or a bad fuel filter. Its missing like its not getting fuel. I put some seafoam and changed the fuel filter. That seemed to fix the problem for about 5 minutes. I can start the car and it will idle fine until I start to drive then it drives fine for a few seconds then starts to sputter out and backfire. It doesnt die unless I flood it out by pushing the pedel to the floor. What should I check next?
