1991 Jaguar XJ6 V6 Automatic 185000 miles

I have been having issues with my car starting. IT seems like it is everytime that it rains. The car would turn but never fire and actually start. Once it would dry out, the car would start. It wouldnt start this morning, then it stopped raining and it started. I tried to start it later, and now the car wont even turn. Any ideas?

Sounds like the spark is failing when the humidity is high. New wires, distributor cap and rotor should help. Also, a little dab of silicone grease in the end of each plug wire and the dist. Cap helps keep the moisture out and makes them easier to pull off.
