Default Car wont start after raining days?

Okay guys here's the deal. After raining day/night my 93 civic lx (auto) wont crank over. I can crank it, but it wont start. I've replaced the cap, coil, plugs, wires, main relay and it wont crank over. After leaving it sit in the sun for about 8 hrs or so it'll start right back up. This problem only happens after raining days. What I notice is that the fuel pump won't prime when the car wont start. Those days when it does work the fuel pump is priming. I don't think it would be a bad fuel pump because it was, then it wouldn't be working some days and not working some days. Any tip would be nice because i'm completely lost on this one

thanks in advance

Make sure the rubber boots on your fuel pump connectors are fully covering the the connections.

After that check the main relay. I have taken a pressure washer to my fuel pump access cover and then even a few shots to the top of the fuel tank as well. Starts right up. Something is grounding out.
