I bet moisture is getting on your distributer cap when it is damp outside and thats why your having problems starting it only in damp weather.
Jtolfree he said he has spark. Only thing left is fuel. Next time it decides to start hard spray something extremely flamable into the throttle body. Ether, brake cleaner, Carb cleaner will all do.
Ive had 2 astros and both did exactly thw same thing. Put a hair dryer to it for a little bit and will start right up...tried everything now gonna try checking the ground wire to coil. Seen video on you tube that shows sould be corrosion issue
