Have you checked the cam timing? My engine sounded just like your video when my bank 2 timing was off.

I had similar symptoms but not exactly. I got engine check light and it started dying whilst I was sat in traffic. I could rev it but as soon as I let off the gas it would either die or seems like its about to die. Problem turned out to be one of the solenoids, and fyi, it is quite expensive. I would try to check them out, although I'm not quite sure how.

Timing definitely occurred to me. I thought maybe the camshaft position indicator could be bad. But to check the cam timing, don't I need to get it running and check it with the Durametric?
