Default 93 del Sol running rough

Hello everyone I have a problem. On my 1993 del Sol I replaced the head gasket. Now in the last 2 months between me and the last owner I've taken the head off three times and the last 2 times it was fine this time however it is idling really rough and now if you give it gas it either revs up really slowly or dies. It's a d15b7 is there anything I should check? Thank you

You haven't unplugged any vacuum or electrical wires during the process of head removal? I wonder how your spark plugs are sparking like what color is the spark?

New head gaskets every time?

Valves adjusted at TDC for each cylinder?

Compression then leakdown test and post results for at least comp.
