Default car will not start after heavy rain and cold

Hey Guys, this is so strange everytime it rains really hard and cold out the car will not start at all. Until it gets nicer out and stops then after awhile the car starts. Can someone help me out here cause I have this problem everytime It rains I cant get to work... My old civic 4 door did it one time. This car has done it about 3 times now..

well describe not starting.

Does it crank? Does it crank slow? Does it crank at full speed but just doesn't start?

Start with a spark tester and go from there.

how old is your distributor cap? Maybe humidity is getting in there.
