plenty of ideas unfortunately....welcome to the only real flaw with these cars.
start by checking plug wires and the coilpacks. any crack/break can cause this. use a spray bottle to mist some water on these parts while the engine is running to see if you can get it to stall or even just misfire.
next start checking the wiring under the hood.
a good place to start is the connector for the crank position sensor. its right by your exhaust manifold. those are not sealed well and tend to allow moisture in. the fix is simple - clean the terminals, dielectric grease and seal with RTV silicone.
