Default delsol Engine trouble

I have a 93 Delsol S with a 1.5l d15

symptoms
When it is cold out it misses
when driving the tack bounces around randomly
miscellaneous no start - turn wires on distributor and it started
bogs out like missing on multiple cylinders

The car is wire tucked so wondering if a wire could be being pinched to where it doesn't want to fire or maybe there is some thing wrong with the distributor all the symptoms are random and occur at odd time progressively getting worse

Surely it is throwing CELs.
Last tune up?

Can't help if you have screwed up wiring due to a wire tuck.

I didn't say you wire tucked it.
Does the CEL even work?
Again. When was the last tune up?

Could be your computer. I had a s10 with the same symptoms. Totally different cats but maybe something to look into

Doesn't sound like the ecu. Sound like a wiring issue. Also have you checked all you engine grounds?

Almost sounds like worn-out spark plug wires.
