1993 Mitsubishi Galant Front Wheel Drive Automatic 100k miles

I have a 1993 Mitsubishi Galant. For a few years now the car I've had a problem starting the car after a heavy rain, or several days out in the cold/damp. It will struggle but it will not turn over. I've had the car looked at by mechanics and they could see nothing wrong. The car will usually start again once it "thaws" out a bit and the temperature outside rises or the rain stops.

Hi
Dampness maybe routing coil spark to ground. Have cap, rotor and wires been replaced? Ignition coil OEM?
Try this engine running use spray bottle with water spray around coil, dist, plugs see if it stalls or idles rough. If you do it out of bright light you can see the sparks.
Let me know
Thanks for donate
