[200q20v] Car is running poorly

[Mike Miller]

I'll take a guess at moisture or oil in the distributor.

: Hello,
:    I have been having troubles with my 200 for the past 3 days. It started
: on thursday when we had heavy rains all day and night, and I did a lot of
: driving that day too. It was cold also, perhaps 40 degrees F. On the day
it
: was raining the car started very hard, and idled roughly, nearly stalling,
I
: would have to give it gas to keep it from stalling. When i wqould start
: driving it would hesitate on accleration. WHen warm it would run fine
: though. On friday i could not get the car to start at all. It would crank
: fine, so no problem with the battery, but it would not catch. Today it
: started hard again, I had to crank for 5 seconds or more. It is idling
: terribly now, it will stall even if i give it gas. I drove it for a bit
and
: it got better when warm, but then i just tried to start it 20 minutes ago,
: and the idle was worse than ever, and i didnt dare try to drive it for
fear
: of stalling and not being able to start it agin.
: ANy thoughts? BTDT's?  BTW before this the car would start right away, and
: would occasionally idle roughly, but never for more than 30 seconds or a
: minute.
