del sol runs poorly when hot

i have a 93 del sol,d16z6,auto.car runs fine unless its really hot out.in that case once its been driven awhile it feels like its missing at low rpm in first gear or when sitting in traffic it will ocasionally miss like a cylinder isnt firing all the time.at higher speeds or past 3k in first gear it runs great...any thoughts?

Was a wire shorting out? To what? Thanks.-Bob

not sure,maybe to another wire?it was an intermittant problem so that kind of threw me off the trail.BTW did you know you can order online from advance auto,pick up your parts or have them sent to your house(free!)and get a % off depending on how much you order?it should have cost me $100 for cap,rotor,wires,plugs,and air filter and i got it all for 64 bucks including tax.
