I have a 97 jetta 2.0 with 100,000 miles. I have been having a problem with the
engine missing under wet conditions. I have replaced the dist. cap and rotor
but I still have the same problem. Can bad sparkplug wires cause this in wet
conditions?

Thanks

YES and maybe even the ign. coil too!
You can usually find the problem with a spray bottle of water and start misting
the wires and looking for sparks. It is usually better to do it in a dark
place.
I would mist the ign. coil last since it may cause a complete shutdown of the
engine, so it is the last thing I check.

later,
dave
