I have a 1998 subaru forester. everytime it rains the engine runs rough and has a tough time accelerating. I changed the plugs and wirea and gave it an oil change. I can reset the computer and lose the check engine light but if it rains again the problem comes back.

Check the cap and rotor for internal carbon tracking or, just change them. Also, take a look at the coil when its dark and rainy and see if there is any arcing where the coil wire goes into it.

According to the repair manual, this car has a distributorless ignition. When I had the code checked at Autozone, it came up as "ignition fault in cylander 2". But like I say, this only happens when it rains.
Do you have a distruibuter cap for this vehicle? I had an 88 Accord, and when the distrubuter cap cracked it had problems running in the rain. Hope this helps.
