My car isn't doing good after a tune up..?

My car (1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme) had been driving roughly so I took it in to get the oil filter changed, air filter changed, and the fuel filter changed. After I got all the new filters in it was running a little better but still rougher than normal. SO my partners co worker put in new plugs and wires for us. After he installed the new plugs and wires I went to start the car and it made the worst noises I had ever heard it make. It would stay on for about 10 seconds, back fire, and then die. If i try to put it in any gear it back fires and dies. We had his co worker re check the wires and such and he said he did them right. Any Ideas?

Why do my 95 oldsmobile cutlass supreme dies when hit gas

Did you replace the fuel filter as well as the oil filter ?. If there is a good spark at the plugs it has to be a fuel problem . Check the fuel pressure and flow the flow is most important. if the pressure is high the regulator on the fuel rail may be stuck shut . and there will be no flow on the return line.

What type of Oil and how much? For a 95 Olds Cutlass

what engine?

The old 3.8 require 10w30

Everything else is 5w30

Most GM 6 cylinders and 4 cylinders hold 4.4 quarts roughly of oil with a new filter installed. What I tell all of our new general service guys is it takes as much oil as it needs to read full on the dipstick.
