Very low power, will die if left idle. Rough shaking.

So I recently traded away my 240sx roller for a "running" 93' eclipse gs.
The guy told me I should tow it, with it having some engine trouble.
I figured, what the heck, I'll give the dsm market a shot since my older brother had a monster GST and some left over parts and what not ^^

Well, I got her home and found out it might just be a hair of trouble.

When you start the car, you get very rough shake going throughout the entire car.
It CAN drive, but has very low power and still has this constant shake rattling your nerves. I am a tad bit weary of revving it anywhere over 2.5k with the shaking. (dont want to cause more work unless its necessary)
I've abused the search tool, and couldnt find much on these issues.

I have plenty of time, but not enough knowledge on these sorts of things.
Honestly I just have no idea where to start and am hoping to get a good idea

This is a fairly short video of the motor runnin', not exactly the best quality I know. It will also die off after about 30 seconds of running if you do not put down any throttle. I plan on getting more info inputted after work today, along with a much better video.

Plugs, wires, and injectors are for sure good.

Any ideas fellas?

do a compression test and make sure you do have good consistent spark. I would start there and post results. also check you ecu for any leaky caps or damage to the board.

Boost leak test, I would also look into possibly fixing that lifter noise. Check everything from your plugs, wire's wire connections to coil. (I have had plug wires arc at coil)Injectors could be clogged. Start there and check off things 1 by 1. GL

As you can read the model is a standard GS, so no turbo, ruling out the boost leak issue.

It appears my compression tester pulled a hudini on me so I will have to go snag another one tomorrow

The spark plugs are fine, gonna check the wires and injectors when the sun shows up tomorrow.

If all goes well I will have the compression readings up tomorrow. Hopefully i can abuse ya'lls knowledge on to help me fix this sucker up nice and right!

Also check fuel pressure, the fuel pump might be on its last leg or you might have a very clogged fuel filter.

Check for spark maybe coil pack to maybe fuel could also be cas (cam angle sensor) also but check spark and fuel first and compression
