Do you have an msd ignition? If the msd is bad it will cause this.

Ignition is second on my list, had a suggestion at TrueStreet about o2 sensors that I hadn't thought about so I jacked up the car and crawled under it and they're mismatched and old as hell. Since I've had intermittent CEL's and the problem manifested as if something failed I'm gonna go with the o2's as a first point to try then move on to ignition.

Replaced the o2's and cleaned the IAC but no real change. Idle improved marginally but still stumbles from time to time. Car is also almost undriveable in the rain/real high humidity. It'll shudder under low throttle situations... ignition related? Cap/rotor look nice enough and plugs/wires are new. MAF is also on my list to clean, just such a pain in the ass to pull it on this car..

Spray electronic cleaner under cap and see if it improves when dry? Sounds like an old school moisture problem. Small crack in underside of distributor housing maybe???
