Default 92 accord hard start and misfire

Hello all and thank you for reading.
I am having an issue with my 92 accord. She is cranking a lot to start and when she starts she misfires bad for a few seconds then smoothens out but with a slight misfire. I drive for a bit and under load she starts to stutter. If I tap the gas pedal she will stall out but if I gas it up slowly she revs up. I replaced every fuel component except injectors. When I replace the injectors with the OEM reman the car didnt start at all. Both the new and old injectors are all at 2.2 ohm cold. I replaced blugs wires cap rotor and igniter. Fuel filter, pressure regulator duel pump is good three years old. There is fuel pressure but I don't have a gauge to see what the pressure is. If I rev it above idle she stops the misfire at 1100 rpm the misfire is slight. Anything above 2500 and I can not hear the misfire anymore. If I shut her off she has a hard time starting back up.
Please help. I don't know what to do and this is the only car we have at the moment.

Check your battery and all the power and ground wires for tight and clean connections.

Low RPM miss can be caused by improper valve clearances. Do you know when the timing belt was changes last? Also when the valve clearances were checked and adjusted?

Hard start can be either fuel or spark (which you obviously know) and you don't have all the tools, but you could test further the spark by taking a plug out and laying it on the manifold to see how bright the spark is. If it's not bright, then at least you know it is the spark. If it is bright, then you know it's the fuel.

Valves could be another, I'd also just doublecheck the timing.
