Once when I had the problem, I immediately pulled over and checked the obvious things. I popped the cap and noticed condensation.

I dry and cleaned everything up including all the contact points, and it runs great for two or three months rain or shine. After the normal carbon buildup returns and you get a damp morning, the same scenario repeats.

When I say normal carbon buildup, I mean nothing unusual. The kind of thing that any car should fire rigth through, but not when you add moisture. This is on a car with a well maintained cap and wires. The same issue also happens with my 93.
