My F150 XLT, 1995 truck won't start when it is raining?

Question:
My ford XLT truck (1995) with rebuilt small v8 engine wont start while it's raining or even for quite a while after it has stopped raining. It will crank over just will not start up completely. Fuel pump/filter & plugs have been changed. Could it be cellanoid or ignition ....?

Moisture in ignition system. Distribitor cap may be cracked, allowing moisture. A quick fix is to spray WD40 on plug wires and the inside of the distributor cap. This dissipates the moisture. I would replace the wires and cap though.

Citroen Saxo Temperature Gauge fault?

Next time this happens, pop off the distributor cap and see if there's moisture inside.
A coworker of mine had this problem, even if it was just a damp fog outside. He said the inside of distributor cap was damp, like it had been sweating.
I told him to get a can of WD-40, and spray the outside of the distributor cap. He claimed that worked!
WD-40 displaces moisture (WD=Water Displacement).
Also, it it is a double walled cap, you could drill a small hole through just the outer wall of the cap, and another 180 degrees away through the inner cap, which will help the cap to stop sweating.
