Sounds like you are getting water up in the engine compartment. A factory front skid will eliminate some if not all of that. Distributor getting wet maybe? It is a very common thing to get some condensation inside the cap and have the spark jumping all over inside.

I drive through many puddles here in Houston, Any timeit rains the streets flood and the puddles are deep and all over... I have the factory skid and have never had that problem... I only have this problem when i get it high water when off roading... By high water i mean up to the front blinkers. The fans throw water all over and that gets the dist cap wet and it'll run like crap for a while... sometimes days and will also trip my check engine light and say random misfire on all cylinders

This was a move that didn't work so good. Maybe Tony can fix it.
