Default Need some help with a ghostly problem.

1995 Honda civic VX stock, 205k miles, 5 speed.

Runs and starts fine, EXCEPT for when it RAINS. When it rains, about 85% of the time it will not start. It will just crank and crank, but wont turn over. When it gets dry outside, 99% of the time fires right up, idles rough for 3-8 seconds then runs fine. Ive tried starting fluid, and changing my plugs, and checking my dizzy for water/residue. Plugs look good still, dizzy appears to be dry. I was planning on getting a new dizzy, but don't want to if that is not the problem.

Any Ideas would be GRAND.

is OEM hood. But I was not driving during the rain, it was sitting. and it is for the most part 100% dry under the hood. dry under the hood.

Main relay is on the passenger side of the dash, correct? Ive smacked the dash a few times, but with no luck.
