May need plugs and plug wires, may have a dirty fuel filter, injectors probably need cleaning by a mechanic (such as PrecisionTune). If you install new plugs, DO NOT GAP THEM! They are factory set. You will ruin the platinum coating with a feeler gauge.

Can't be certain BUT - - How old is the serpentine belt that drives your accessories (P/S pump - A/C compresser, alternator, etc)? If it is old, it may be glazed and slipping when it is damp or wet causing the P/S pump to lose its pumping ability. Just a thought.
