This sounds entirely like an ignition (or lack of ignition) problem. I once drove the parental corolla through this wicked cool 30 foot wide, 1 foot deep puddle at the mall and she suddenly ran like crap. The brand new car was misfiring all over the place. If it happens in the rain and only the rain, then it is the extreme humidity causing the problems and that means dizzy cap boot or moisture inside the cap. Electric grease it up and put a bead of grease around the inside rim of the cap where it meets the distributor to seal it up. Plug boot slide off. At least mine do if you pull hard enough. Just go and salvage one from an donor wire.
