I have a 1997 Acura TL 2.5. Problems occur when it is raining, it does not seem to idle correctly and when trying to rev it makes some pops it also seems to idle erratically, but on the open road or on the highway it is fine in the rain. I have been told that moisture is most likely getting in there. I have changed the distributor cap and rotor. I have changed the wires and plugs. I coated two sensors, near the coil with household silicone and some of the sensors I started to put dielectric grease. The problem still exists. I am going to take off the distributor cap again and inspect. I would like to reseal the cap back on with some silicone to make sure and 100% eliminate that problem. I know changing the distributor cap on this car is nightmarish. The car does have 201,000 miles on it. Otherwise it seems to run and idle perfectly when it is not raining. I did not install an OEM distributor cap, I do not know if it really makes a difference, but I like this car and if anyone can help with some suggestions. I work on this vehicle myself and I am sure this could get pretty expensive at the dealer. Also, the CD player does not play CD’s a code comes up that I believe says CPEO. I also installed a new air filter. I do not believe it could be a dirty fuel filter because wouldn’t it run badly all the time.
