Has it been rainy or very humid where you live? If so, pull the dist 
cap and dry it inside. If that doesn't help, pull the spark plugs and 
just dry their insulators.

Check the seam between the 2 halves of the fan housing. There is a 
hole there, right in the bottom center, that gets plugged up with 
dirt, but it's important for that to be kept clear. If you don't, 
water will collect there and then be splashed all over the spark 
plugs first thing when you go to restart the car.
