M-103: too many issues for the title...

What's next? Now the car has developed some kind of battery drain that completely drains the battery overnight unless I disconnect it in which case it's still fine in the morning. To go along with this we now have an ABS light that is on all the time and a cold start problem that seems like the cold start injector isn't working (not saying that's what it is, cause I don't think that's what it is, just saying that's what it seems like.) It's VERY HARD to start now when it's cold. Also have lost all of my low end torque now even after it's warmed up. Anything up to about half throttle is fine, anything more than that and you have to wind the pee out of it to get anything resembling acceleration out of it. The car is really getting slapped around now a lot on the freeways and it sucks big time. All the other drivers think it's a diesel and they don't want to cut it any slack cause they don't want to be "stuck" behind a "diesel". So they speed up whenever I put the blinker on to change lanes (so I can get off the freeway or whatever) instead of letting me in the lane and I'm helpless to do any thing about it except drive like an a-hole and not announce my intention by turning on my blinker in the first place. It sucks. But the cold starting problem is the worst part...it's really bad. All of these latest issues have hit at the same time and fairly suddenly so I'm thinking they are somehow related. Thanks to all who help! (89 300E 3.0).
Regards, Eric
