1997 Ford Taurus LX V6 82,000

I went out to my car and it started up fine but put it in reverse to back out and it started sputtering and shaking like its out of gas but has 3/4 a tank.
I replaced the fuel filter, but its still the same and i noticed the all of the cab lights dim a good bit when it starts shaking and sputtering. Please if anyone can help me out. Thank you.

SOUNDS LIKE A FUEL ISSUE I WOULD CHECK FUEL PRESSURE AT THE RAIL. DOUBLE CHECK THIS BUT I THINK THE PRESSURE SHOULD BE AT LEAST 15 PSI IF NOT YOU PROBABLY NEED A PUMP

If this is a 3.0 engine the fuel pressure spec is 35-45PSI
