On a dark dry night take a spray bottle of water out, remove the hatch cover
and with the engine running, spray the ignition wires from the distributor
to the spark plugs including the one to the coil. You'll most likely see
sparks jumping and that means you need a new set of plug wires. If you
remove and replace them one at a time you should not have any problems.
