symptoms: '94 850T 850

Just started Sunday morning. Started her up, and didn't get the smooth start I'm used to. Engine was running VERY rough, and the climate control lights above the stereo were flashing, and then it died. Started her back up again, again running very rough, but by giving it gas, it ran for about 20 seconds, then died again. Then started it again, kept giving it gas for about a minute before it would run on it's own, but was still a bit shaky. Climate control lights have not flashed since that first time I tried to start it. Was able to drive home (1 hour on highway), and car seemed fine..maybe a touch less power than usual.
Now, car is still starting rough, but, by giving it gas for about a minute before I put it in gear, it'll run, but not very well. Big hesitation when I hit the gas, lack of power.

Anyone want to try and make an educated guess about what the heck is going on??

Much appreciated,
-Nick
