I'd start with the obvious: small crack in an ignition component such as a plug wire, cap, coil body, etc. Moisture appears to be interrupting the current someplace...

Rain/Engine miss
Anyone have experience with an intermittent engine miss after a cold start in rainy weather that lasts only a few blocks and then goes away?? Never misses otherwise. Never shows a ck engine light or is it a tranny slip? Seems like something must get wet and fix itself after it drys off.
