My son's VR6 also had a similar problem with rain and the coil pack.

Al,

How did you bench test the coil pack and determine it works?  Your problem
sounds exactly like my
97 Jetta VR6 when I had a coil pack issue... if you can, remove the pack and
take the cover off...
then get out the hairdryer... make sure it is good and dry!  Mine was giving
me problems when it
would get wet also... in fact, this is a huge issue with this gen of VR6... 

If this really isn't your problem, then I'm at a loss.

Good luck!

Ben
