I steamed out my Saab once and it ran fine on the way home but ran like a dog the next day. No torque. Sounded like it was running on two cylinders. I drove it to parts store that way, got new cap and all was well. Thinking about it now, I did leave hood open and dizzy cap off while I was inside the store. Sun was shining right on the engine too. Maybe there was residual moisture in the distrubutor mechanism. I think what screws it up is not shorting through water traces, but 99.9 % humidity under the distrubutor cap as residual water evaporates, leading to some peculiar arcing or something in there. Get the blow drier and dry out the dizzy really well (maybe?).
