Well, there are still other problems like a coil wiring problem or whatever. But I would personally yank the plugs and make ABSOLUTELY sure they are between .028 and .032 inches of gap.

That's almost a guaranteed fix for 99% of "my car won't start when it's wet". Usually the plug gaps are so far gone, a simple EYEBALL gapping will get the car running. While there are still other problems possible, I'd start with those if you haven't done it already.
