Have you checked your timing? What is your idle rpm speed? You're idle could be way too low.

Holy cow, thats ridiculous! Well at least you were able to solve the problem. You might want to pull off the valve cover and make sure there's not all kinds of rotted material that's getting into your cylinders. I'd clean out every connection point inside and out along with changing the oil.
