Question Loss of power and rough when raining/wet roads

Tried searching for this but not sure where to start, I have an AU II Povo pack. All has been good but lately when there are puddles or very wet roads the car loses power and when I try to accelerate its rough as and very very sluggish like its running on 4 or 5 cylinders....its a 6 lol, HELP!!!!!...I think water is obviously getting into somewhere but wouldnt have a clue where to start, im hoping someone else has had this issue and its an easy fix.
