Rain = No Start?!

My car won't start in the rain. lol The VATS system get's triggered and I have to wait 7 minutes. Very rarely, it will do it when it doesn't rain.
Here's a few symptoms:
Hesitates to start when key is all the way truned (Sometimes)
T-Tops leak like a siv
Gonna try a new key soon, I already have it, I just have to get it cut
Found an alarm in it when I bought it
I thought that was the problem
Had it removed by a professional
Still does it

check your distributor cap for cracks. rain, high humidity or condensation could cause a no start problem in the rain. happened on a coworkers volvo.
