Eagle Talon No Longer Likes the Heat

Maintenance/Repairs

Still driving my '90 Eagle Talon TSi with all wheel drive with 185k on the clock. Runs fine cold. If it has been running in the high heat (95 degrees F or higher) or has been running then turned off and sits a while (~ 40 minutes or so), it runs like it only has 3 cylinders firing. Actually, it may really have only 3 cylinders firing because the plug on cylinder # 1 looks quite different from the other 3 (I checked after driving a couple hundred miles like this in the summer heat, didn’t have much choice - had to get home). No change with new plugs and wires. Could be the ignition coil or the Ignition control module, but maybe something else? Any suggestions on what to look at next?
