My car has a very slight miss at low RPM which I posted about a few days ago....here is the strange part about it....it is very hard to notice most of the time except for when I drive it in the rain, then it's a little worse and more noticeable......what the ****?? Any ideas???

Coil I bet.

SHOZ123, what does a coil have to do with wet driving (rain)?? I am not trying to disagree with you, just curious to know why it is worse in the rain?? Thanks...and those two motorcraft coils you have, are they new??

Most cases of missing in these cars is coil failure related.

The higher level of moisture combines with the dirt on the coils to provide a path for ground if there is any electrical leakage.
