I had an 87 Calais with a similar problem. From memory it was something (a fine wire) in the air intake. It's a few years ago and didn't take much to find and fix by a real mechanic.

Oh, you're definitely much worse.
Good luck. You're going to need it.

What about the rust around the rear screen! Maybe the engine mounts have finally rusted through!
No, only teasing - although VL Commodores suffer from serious rust problems.
But, it sounds like a blocked injector. Or fuel pump.
