I've seen cracked distributor caps cause problems like this when it's =
really damp.

  Subject: help: distributor troubles?


  sometimes (only during rainy weather so far) my car (1987 16v =
scirocco) will have trouble idling when i start it (cold). it starts, =
and runs, but will die almost imediately unless i give it quite a bit of =
throttle.  it wont hold the rpms on throttle either, i have to keep =
racing it up and down for almost 5 minutes before it will finally give =
up and idle like it should. this has happened twice now, and my only =
guess so far is that my distributor cap is somehow forming moisture =
inside.  i know it isnt a vacuum or intake leak (i have thouroghly and =
repeatedly checked).  any opinions or tips would be appreciated.

  thanx,

  -tony
