Car fiire's up in one shot, idles rough sounds like and feels like it will stall out but doesn't. Last year plugs, wires, and distributor cap all replaced. Check engine light on, condensation under the oil cap, and a leak from the water pump housing. What is the cause of these problems?

Check for applicable trouble codes, at the least you need an obd2 code reader. Some of the national brand autostores used to check codes for free. Use a gage and check fuel pressure.
