Car Won't Start When Damp

Hello,
I have looked around and the car will crank up but not start randomly. This is a 97 SE, and it usually does it when it is damp and what not. People suggest replacing spark plug wires?? and i even heard of replacing cam position sensor? Did anybody else have this happen to them?

These were some of the other suggestions people gave as what could be suspect. The car is not throwing any codes once it starts running again, unless they are ghost codes.
