Angry 97 Dak 5.2 check engine, and shaking...@^$*&@&

On my way home from work I was stopping at a redlight and when coming to a complete stop the the truck lunged forward alittle bit and then the check engine light came on and thats when the engine started kinda chugging and shaking the whole truck. Im a neb and dont have have a code reader yet so has anyone else had this happen or know what it might be.

Oh and I had a new exhaust installed a few days back from the cat-back to a 2 3/4 S.O. Dont know if this is playing a issue but thats was the only thing I have done to it recently.

once you get the codes we can tell you what to do. otherwise its just stabbing in the dark.
