very rough idle in reverse

83 300D turbo 230k miles
It just started doing this yesterday, with no known cause.

Very rough idle.
In all gears.
Reverse is much much worse than the others. Violent. Scary.
Problem goes away when throttle applied. (runs normal / "smooth")

Oil level and pressure good. RPMs normal.
The only thing that was done before this started happening was that I pressed on the "gas" pedal a few times with the car/engine/key off.

Help please...
