Here is the story:

On Saturday, my son and I changed the oil on my Red 93 Metro Vert. All went fine, but one of us forgot to put the Oil cap back on (Perhaps we should not work on 3 different cars at once, but, that is another story).

Monday, drove to work, about 5 miles from home, I realized the car was smoking. Pulled over, opened hood to discover oil everywhere and no cap.
Checked the oil, down about a half a quart, so I plugged it with a rag and went home. Found the cap on the way, just out of the driveway. Put the cap on and got the oil back to 100%. Drove a different car to work.

Last night, I went to a nearby car wash and power washed the engine to get the oil off it and the rest of the car. Left it running while I did this as is my normal practice so there are no tem extreams on the engine. Car continued to idle the entire time. However, when I pulled out after the wash, it sputtered and died. Did not want to start back up. Parked the car and went into Walmart to do a little shopping. Car started right up after sitting 30 minutes, however, it would not run past 2000 RPMs, just boggs out.

Made it home at <35 MPG, pushing the shifting all the way, starting in second and running mostly in 5th.

This morning, the car started fine and took off like normal, however, after about a mile, it started again.

I have checked the vacuem line and don't see anything off. everything looks dry. Any ide where I start from here?

1st remove the dist. cap and let things dry out. You can also take a hair dryer on low to help dry things

Thanks for the guidance. Fortunately for me, a sunny September day did the trick for me. Went out to work on the car last night and when I checked to see if the problem still existed, she ran like a champ. Next time I'll be more careful and cover the distributer.
