need help....wife's car

Need help getting my wife's car fixed ASAP. 1998 900 SE 2.0 turbo. 119K Auto.
When it is cold it will fire up and idle evenly, but when it gets to operating temperature it will miss, stutter and eventually die. Looking at the board here I thought possibly: IAC, purge valve, DIC, Crank Position sensor, ignition switch. I cleaned the IAC valve thoroughly, cleaned the purge valve thoroughly with WD-40. The fact that it only happened when warm led me to the CPS. I changed out with a known good unit and no difference. No CEL at all. That led me to rule out the DIC as it should throw a code. I loosened the DIC and left it hooked up to the harness. I put two plugs in the DIC and cranked the car. There was spark (although weak) at the plugs. This told me to rule out the ignition switch. Am I missing something? I need to get this on the road for the missus as she is not happy with her "new" convertible sitting in the driveway having to drive a rented PT cruiser in Cobalt Blue.
Please help with any and all advice.
