That's a good one..
Hmm, after it rains do you ever find water anywhere?
Maybe it's a engine ground in the back of the engine bay connected to the firewall that gets loose and wet?

Also do you have all your factory weather stripping? any other weird electronics problems?

[Slikk Logic]

as far as i seen i have the ground to the battery tray and the valve cover..i find them really stupid but i cleaned and tighten them last month wen i had a slow starting problem.
its wierd cuz it only does it lyk every other stop light and it isnt consistant thru the trip just consistant with the weather lol.

Try changing your plug wires...

YouTube - How To Check For Bad Spark Plug Wires (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXAFQa0R9hA) << check it out

If even a few drops of water get into where your coil packs are it will "F" your spark big time. I would suggest the following first

----Take off your Spark plug cover and remove the coil packs. Dry off EVERYTHING
----Put them back on, and then put the cover back on TIGHTLY and make sure it is completely sealed so no more water can get in. Trust me I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE.

umm guitaraholic i have a ka24de no coil packs or covers lol.but! today dry day i have the same wierd on off missfire.mostly 3500rpm or less but wen i floor it it basicly clears up for the most part u dnt notice it then
and negrosx13 i was gonna try that 2mrw lol i havent gotten a chance too. mayb somthing wit plug gapping?

[negrosx13]

if its still going then,check you plugs and any vacuum leaks

[Rabboni]

it sounds like your plug wires are leaking. you can do what negros13 suggested, or have fun with it and run your hands along the wires until you get zapped. its like Russian roulette but you dont die.

sounds like maf is dirty/intermitting signal/dying maf. Clean with maf cleaner, if no diff then try known good maf, check wiring.

[Slikk Logic]

lol ill try the water today.the plugs are 2 weeks old reg v power 11's.is any thing else that clean mafs that i get for free at work lyk starting fluid? lol

[Slikk Logic]

so i did the water thing and nothing was found even at night .wats the possibility of a sticking injector?

[Slikk Logic]

cant figure this out still

[Slikk Logic]

i see nobody cares -_- but for any searchers i fixed it but cleaning 3 ground cables to the head and removing the dizz and cleaning its ground.as well as reconnecting the fallen fuel reg vacum line :)

[benarovi]

i kinda had this. my exhaust would vibrate like crazy and it would sound so wierd, was still like running on 4 cylinders thoughh... check for leaks in any vaccum lines and fuel lines idk
