I have recently been having problems with my car missing betwewn about 15 to 35 mph. Does anyone know what the possible problem(s) could be?
Plus when the car gets wet, it worsesns.

Most likely an ignition short, I would do a tune-up. Replacing the plugs, wires, cap and rotor etc. I had the same problem with my GT the coil over plug boots were cracked causing a bad miss.

Uh, no rotor or distributor cap. We have coilpacks......

But I would do a tuneup and change the fuel filter and clean your mass air sensor......

ok I wasn't sure if the V6 is like the V8 If you have coil over plugs then replace the spark plug boots sold at any parts store, these are alot cheaper than buying the entire coil. and replace the spark plugs while your in there, be sure you remove the plugs only when the car is cold. Removing plugs from a hot engine will cause thread damage.

we can still have shorts in the ignition. Here's a little trick to see if your getting any kind of spark jump...... wait till about 10pm , start the car with no lights on , you want it completely dark. Open the hood , and look for tiny sparks.

Also you could have a Throttle position sensor going out.

Or a bad coil pack.
