Runs crappy after sitting



This summer, my '89 100Q has developed a small problem.

If I let it sit for a couple of days (like over the weekend),
especially in wet/humid weather, it runs really crappy for a little
while - say the 20 miles to work. After sitting the day, it's fine.

It idles fine, and runs OK, as long as I don't get into it too
far. If I open the throttle too far, or don't rev it from idle
before engaging 1st, it bucks violently (but doesn't stall).

I assume that it needs a new cap/rotor; this is moisture getting in.
Does this sound reasonable?
