there is a pretty good chance that its your plug wires getting wet and they are gapping out to ground to some other source then your spark plug...you can replace your wires to fix that....or it could be a coil pack gone bad...only real way to find out is to inspect everything real close and find out where the spark is getting out

I recently replaced my wires along with my plugs and it didnt really help
is there anything around the coil pack that should keep water out?

nope...there is nothing really designed to do that....i have heard of guys building their own stuff or coating them with vasoline and other stuff that repels water....and it works to some degree...its all in what your doin. if ya power wash your engine just blow off your coil and see if that solves your problem

replace the coil packs and module.. from the junk yard its around $75..it comes as one big unit really easy to install 3 bolts..
also do your fuel filter too! $6 and bolts right on
hope this helps
