Re: F.I. problems when it rains 700 1990

You've got the classic signs of a weak ignition part. It's very unlikely to be related to the F.I.

The top of the list is ignition wires - bad insulation or cracked/missing/poor-fitting boots.

The next on the list is a porous or cracked distributor cap. Cheap Asian knock-off parts are prone to this even if new.

Items like ignition rotor or a cracked tower on the ignition coil are next. Since you have probably changed the spark plugs at least once in the year you've had the problem, you have already eliminated a cracked spark plug insulator.
