Have a 92 Grand Am with a 4 cylinder and for some reason it will start but once I try to drive it, it will die. What things could cause this and what would be the cheapest things to try first?

Just let the clutch out slower :)
When exactly does it die? When you put it into gear, when you start rolling?

Check the fuel pressure. The pump may not be flowing enough to keep it running when the injector pulse width increases. Tape the guage to the windshield so you can watch it when it dies.
