Subject:Engine Died, got it running, but rough under load...

HI All,
I made a point of driving the family the family around this am, instead
of taking my wifes(reliable) car. I had the engine die 2 blocks from our
destination, and let them walk(in the rain) while I tried to sort it
out. Once I got in there, and reseated plug wires & such, it did slowly
come back to life, but once I put any load on it, it gets rough and
dies.
I had it towed, rather than force it to climb hills in that condition.

Since I am new at this, does anyone have any ideas? I am still waiting
for my bentley.... Seems my bentley became a xmas present, and when my
wife ran out of $.....

Thanks,
Matthew C. Huntley
