Brian, when was the last time you changed your injector seals?  That sounds 
very familiar -- the car feels fine until there's any kind of load on the 
engine (especially at low revs), and then falls on its face and won't budge.

The injector seals dry up and let air in, causing a lean mixture.  And the 
computer's blindfolded because the O2 sensor isn't warm yet, so it can't do 
a damn thing about it.  By the time the O2 sensor heats up enough to get a 
good signal, the seals have heated and expanded anyway, so the problems are 
solved.

Change those injector seals!  Mine are now 2 years old with (maybe) 10,000 
miles on them, and the car never sees cold weather... and they're shot.
