car is breaking down on acceleration but not when engine idleing. problem began some time ago and less pronounced then, only in wet weather and driveability returned within a short time. weather has turned very cold and wet and car is barely driveable now. the onset was not at initial start but after driving a number of kilometres can you nail this down for me. car has a distributorless ignition. motor stumbles and shakes, very little torgue.
