I had an '89 Mitsubishi truck with a similar problem.  A mechanic I went to
High School with suggested replacing the plug wires.  I could not understand
what that would have to do with it cutting out when it rained.  When I
finally did change the wires during a routine tune up, the problem
disappeared.
