1995 Daihatsu Feroza Ignition

Electrical problem
1995 Daihatsu Feroza 4 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual 71990 miles

Hi - My vehicle is in the Caribbean - if it has stood outside overnight and there has been rain - it will not start. As soon as the sun comes out for a while it starts Ok. Have tested with Timing Light in HT lead and don't get any HT .

If it didn't rain in the night the vehicle is just as likely to start without any problems.

No signs of water anywhere - am wondering whether it is just the temperature - when vehicle does start in these circumstances, I have seen a weak spark with misfirng and then a strong spark comes up and all is well. Could this be the igniter being affected by the temperature
