Plain old water is death to high tension electricity. Won't affect low
voltage things like microswitches, but will kill ignition spark.
That's why PRV wiresets have umbrella boots to keep water out of spark
plug wells. Water can also cause problems inside distributor cap. Your
car may be running 20 year old ignition components -- change them as
part of complete tuneup (belts & hoses too). Properly tuned DeLo is
pretty impervious to the elements (except road salt -- who would think
it could cause so much mischief on a plastic car!)

after putting on a new set of plugs, this has ceased, and the car has
performance I never knew it had! I'm sure everything is original on
your car since it's only got 6k on it. Little things like spark plugs
and new coils will work wonders if you take the time to do them.
