Strange Engine Problem

Hey guys, haven't been here in a while. I come with a problem now. Several weeks ago, on a weekend, it was snowing and very cold temps. I let it sit over that weekend and when I went to start the following Monday, it was running real bad and still is. It will start fine, and even run fine in park except for an extreme shake. When I put it in gear (reverse or drive), it shakes even worse and will not rev over 1500 RPM; rendering it useless. I took a short video of it and you can view it by clicking here. At 28 seconds into the video, I have the throttle to the floor.

Oh yeah, '89 760 GLE. Any ideas at all will be appreciated.

try unplugging the air mass sensor and see if it runs better. if so you need an air mass sensor. used ones are quite reasonable.

there are other possibilities:

temp sender for ecu
low voltage to computer
bad ground
stuck fuel pressure regulator

sounds like a bad distributor or bad spark...
