Unhappy Rain is not my friend

Ok, so as I now live in virginia, I've run into some problems. Apparently, virginia is the land of perpetual rain

Now, why is this a problem? you might ask..

For some strange reason, if I'm idling, and it's raining, my car stalls, or at least acts like it's about it (rpms start going up and down by a few hundred, and you can feel the car trying to keep itself running). It only does this in the rain. While moving, the car behaves normally.

Weird, huh?

Any thoughts guys?

Ignition wires, and I think for high humidity situation, you can advance your overall timing and help some too.

np damien you can always test them by getting a spray bottle and misting them with water see if it fluctuates.
