Ignition wires/distr cap/rotor lasts only 3 years?? 850

This morning, it was very wet, like it rained all night.

started the car, then idle was erratic... hmmmm i immediately thought about ignition parts. Rev'd the engine a little and after it warmed up everything was fine. At the end of the day, same weather, same problem which solved itself after 1-2 minutes of driving.

I know all this points the ignition system. I remember my good old 244 needed a set of plug wires each year because they ran between the exhaust manifold runners and self-destructed pretty easily. But on the 850, arent they supposed to last a good amount of time? I made the super-fcpgroton-tuneup (cap, rotor, wires, plugs) 3 years ago.

Is the fact that it is a turbo explains the short life of those parts?

thanks
