Have you checked to see if it is getting spark when it doesn't start?

A likely cause is a cracked Distributor Cap, under high humidity (say rain for example)....a crack allows moisture into the interior of the distributor cap causing spark failure. Pull the distributor cap off and inspect very carefully for hairline cracks. (Yes, a razor thin crack can allow the moisture inside).
