99 cirrus you think the distributor cap is cracked when it rains and the distributor cap gets wet your car acts as if it has no acceleration power and it cuts off or stalls out what do you do?
the cap may not be cracked as you said when the cap gets wet when distributor cap gets wet, moisture will also get into where the plug leads go into cap. this will cause same problem you described. if cap is cracked it will misfire, etc whether wet or dry. to fix problem of cap getting wet, you need to somehow stop water from getting on the cap

Could be the distributor cap and/or rotor. $20 bucks at your local parts store. Easy 2 minute change-out.
