90% sure it's opti-related......
Take it apart, and clean/dry it, then try some light siliconing to resist water

Had to replace the OptiSpark when I had my 97Z for the same reason.
I'm surprised it hasn't thrown any codes.

Could be the opti. Could also be some condensation in the wire boots. When it is nice and dry take off the wires and put some dielectric grease on the boots. Do the opti side and the plug side. You might even want to take a hair dryer and make sure they are good and dry.
