Running Rough

Well, I hadn't used my T for a couple of weeks. Just started it up and drove down to wash it. It ran great. After washing, it started running really rough up to about 2800 rpm or a bit more. No water got into the engine compartment. Idle is down a bit and rough also.

Any ideas? It is so strange that it was running so smooth..then turned off for about 10 minutes, then started and it's running rough.

take off your distributor cap and dry it out.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think it may be a vacuum line problem.

Left it for the night and started it in the morning. Ran rough. I checked vacuum lines just securing them better. Started it again and its running better. It's not perfect, but better. With 126,000+ miles, is it time to replace all vacuum lines?

I ran it again today. No better. No distributor. Again, thinking that it is probably a vacuum problem. It's a 97 T 4x4 totally stock. There is a vacuum line map on the inside of my hood. Thinking I will need to check each line. Any experience with this?

Thanks!
