Default Hesitation / Multiple Misfires

Disco does not like it when it rains or snows!!!! Should be the opposite!!!
I am thinking the moisture is recking havock on the wires and or distributor after I drive the car for 10-15 minutes once. Never hesitates when it's dry outside.

Thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated, will try to figure this out later today when I add K-Seal to stop an HG leak.

If you don't want us guessing for days, give us more information, what fault codes do you have, what octane are you burning, when were the plugs, wires, cap, rotor and points last changed???????????????????????????????

Whoops.............. here is some background:
94 Disco I 222k on the clock

Inherited the car 4 years ago, and replaced the following back in 2008:

Wires & Plugs
Lead wire off the coil
Fuel filter
Ball joints
K&N Air Filter
Clutch
Used Tranny 120k- Mechanic didn't change out the Throw out bearing!
Brake Pads
Vacuum hoses

The car sat from 2009-2012(Bad T-Case- Mechanic never filled it properly and I was unaware until I heard a snap and had to hold the diff lock down to get home! ) This is why I do my own work from now on!

Used T-Case 140k (Filled properly w/thick gear oil)
New gas tank & fuel pump (Recall) 2012
U-Joints 2012
Rear shocks 2012
Oil Changes regularly 2008- Present
Diff & Tranny fluid changes almost every oil change since 2008
Front wheel bearings (Still have DW)
Running on 89-91 Octane
Rotella 5/40 Synthetic
HG's are leaking
All brake lines replaced
Front rotors

Dealer Diagnosed CL back in June of this year:
Bank "A" O2 sensor out of range needs replacement. I have the sensor just haven't gotten a chance to replace it yet.
Don't think I left anything else out aside from the fact she runs like a top when it's not raining or snowing.

replace that O2 sensor...

if the issue is weather related like it sounds to be, my guess is on something with the ignition. wires still good? can you mist water on them at night and see a light show?

I plan on changing the O2 sensor this weekend along with many other things. If the weather shapes up tomorrow I'll mist the wires and baring the results I'll know what direction to go in.

Hi, you might want to follow this thread if the O2 sensor doesn't fix it.

Start with a complete tune up, plugs and wires, cap and rotor.
