What parts are you getting wet.
Please tell us you are NOT washing the engine or engine compartment.

How old are your wires? Best advise someone on this forum gave me was start simple look for the obvious first! On my old car projects id pop the hood and run it at night looking for any ark/sparking. Good luck,Dave

I'd look for bad plug and coil wires. Start it up in a dark garage and use a spray bottle with plain water and just barely mist over the wires and see if they glow or spark.
Also inspect the cap on the opti - it may have a crack.
Look for my post for the guy with the 93 that doesn't run right. Do the tune up steps, you may be able to get away with not changing the coil or icm.
Mine never ran right when really hot until I replaced the opti to ECM harness connections.

sometimes when the ignition module goes bad, any moisture in the air can get into that system and cause it to lose conductivity. Not exactly cheap at about $100 but definitely cheaper than replacing an opti-spark or wires.
