94 940T on life support

Problem persists
Definitely heat related
When engine & compartment are cold it idles fine, no misses.
Once whatever it is is heat-soaked (within minutes of engine reaching operating temp) the misses start.
Worse under load at idle (at a light with foot on brake), it will likely stall without pressing on the accelerator to raise idle to 1500 rpm.
At speed, there will be an occasional miss but it does not stall.

I have ordered a bosch dizzy cap & rotor to replace the aftermarket ones I have on it, and IPD performance wires which have worked well for me in the past. They should arrive by Friday.
I'm hoping the dizzy cap developed some internal arcing when I was trying to limp home with the two arcing wires.

Fingers crossed.
