I have a 2006 Hyundai Accent and it will not start when it rains. My car does not have a distributor cap (it has a coil pack) and it doesn't have spark plugs. What else could be the problem? Thanks.

If this is VERY predicatable with rain + not starting you should be able to find the area sensitive to moisture when it is dry by misting it around coil(s) with water.
If not running right now - look for electrical "arching" when dark while a helper cranks the engine. Don't over do it with the cranking or that will harm the starter. It may or may not show up but easier if it does. There should be nothing to see (sparks) doing that.
Hopefully it will make itself known for you that easy. If not - there are other things that are on the maybe list that moisture would aggrevate,
