My oldsmobile is only a winter beater but is in immaculate condition. I have already replaced the cap, rotor, wires and plugs but still have same problem when it won't start it still has spark but is very weak. Bring into garage to dry out and it starts. Is there a module that is sealed that may be bad any advice would be helpfull thank you Jason Force

Do a moisture test when it is dry and working right.

Lightly mist water on the ignition components starting at the plugs and working back to the module.

Be sure the ignition wire connections were clean at the coil posts, and should have use silicone di-electric grease at both ends of the wires.
