If it only does it when it rains quite obviously the water must be getting onto the engine, does it have vents in the bonnet and if so do they have undershields to deflect what drips through. would be a good idea to pop the bonnet after raining to see if the engine is wet. other than that the damp maybe causing electrical components to short causing running probs

Try drying out all the under bonnet electrics and spraying thoroughly with an anti-damp sealant.Ensure no ingress of rain via air intake.
