Car misfiring in wet weather
My car is misfiring in rain. Changed plugs, core plugs, leads, coil pack. It started raining again and the car is missing again.

You need to check the washer jets (sealing) as there is a known fault on Fiestas in that the jets leak and allow water to run down into the plug holes, resulting in a missfire.
