Car runs (poorly)....

When it's raining, and only when it's raining. I don't have to hit a big puddle first, it just runs like *** whenever it's raining. It always runs flawlessly when it's not raining. Any ideas?

Double check all plug wires and that damn coil wire.

Ok, I'll check that, could it be possible that my CAI is sucking in some water?

Highly doubt that, the car would need to injest a good amount of water at once to even notice anything.

Does it exhibit the problem before you drive it, like just warming it up or does it have to be moving?
