Very Poorly running 850 850

My wife's '94 Sedan (193Kmi.) started running poorly today. The car starts and revs freely under no load, but once under load it stunbles, misses, and can barely get out of its own way until it finnaly builds some revs. Even then it never seems to gain any power, just smooths out the misses.

The best way I can describe it is that it feels like it's timed 180deg. out. Oddly, it hasn't spit any codes. Plugs are on the dark side of grey, but nothing out of the ordinary for the car. Cap and rotor show no signs, they were replaced not long ago. In desparation I swapped fuel pressure relays before the rain hit here. No difference. Nothing much has changed with it or around it. It's super humid, but it has been for weeks and I can't imagine that would affect old wires that badly or quickly (She made it sound like it happened all of the sudden).

Any thoughts/ideas?

Thanks,

Will
