plugs and wires. The humidity is allowing the electrical current to arc to the engine rather than to the plug in the cylinder.

I might as well pipe up and say that my Tiburon has been doing the exact same thing.

On recent damp and foggy spring nights here, the car won't even start sometimes. It will die when I give it gas, but if I let the engine idle for a good 5 minutes, everything's ok.

Cars... I guess it's off to get a tune-up for me as well. Thanks Mad!
