Year/trim?

Pull the CEL codes.

Possibly bad plug wires.

Possibly distributor problems -- pull off the cap and inspect for moisture damage and corrosion.

Yes it sounds like the ignition is getting shorted out-- especially if it's a model with distributor and wires (before 2001).

On a dry day let it idle with the hood open, then mist some water on the spark wires, if that makes it act up replace the wires. Check the cap closely for cracks or just replace it.
