My first thought would be the cap/rotor since you said it gets worse when it rains, but you checked that. Have you checked it after driving home after a rain? It might have a hair line crack that only opens up after the motor (and thus the cap) is warmed up, plastic does that when it gets warm.

Perhaps one of the plug wires is cracked also? Are they worn/old/dry rotted?

I'm thinking the moisture aspect of your issue points towards the ignition system.

(Oh and your "E" and "L" are switched in "axle" in your signature) *grin*

you could try to dialectric grease up all the major important electrical connections like the TPS, ignitor, all the plug wire ends (as well as the coil wire), the dizzy plug in, and AFM plug

like mentioned by Junkers, if it get's worse with moisture, it's more than likely ignition related, but, it could also be a vacuum leak, so you could try to search for that as well

Also make sure that your intake tube is sealed very good and not leaking.
