Hi,

Check your distributor cap for moisture/water getting in. Happened to my wife's 92 245 every time it would rain. A thin layer of dielectric grease around the inner edge of the cap solved problems. If you don't know how old ignition components are (and if they look iffy) I would get new-copper spark plugs, plug wire set, distributor cap and rotor. Freshening those parts if they are old can keep from doing a lot of head scratching.
