i agree seen this alot. also had someone saying that as log as it is dry out car runs fine but when rain comes it starts to miss and eventually die. but it would start and run fine once dried out. that issue ended up being coolant somehow gettinng into the distributor cap. thats why it only showed up when it was wet out. try the cap see what happens
