Any, and all.

The solution is to (repeat after me) undo, clean, and reassemble all the 
electrical connections under the hood using dielectric grease to help 
seal out moisture.  I used to observe this "Audis run badly in the wet" 
thing before I started doing this.  In fact, had at least one die in 
heavy rain.

A lot of the connectors started getting better sealed in the late 80's, 
but your QSW probably still has some iffy engineering in that department.
