Ok. Here is the problem.
I recently noticed my car was dying and stalling when I was stopping.
Stopped driving car for a day. Drove it the day after, then i get a bad sputter/missing from 4 to 5 grand. I can baby it past that. But if I romp on it starts to sputter again. Well I finaly got a day off work. Checked ecu for codes, none. Ok. I then retimed the iginition to oem. Took a drive right after seemed like every problem was corrected. drove it for two days, then it started back. car is a 92 ka24de. still have emissions. I have no clue what else it could be.

Go ahead flame me.
I have searched. so yea.

Clean your maf off
Check for vac leaks
Check/replace plugs, wires, ignitor
Check fuel injector o-rings for tears
Fuel pump, fuel filter as well

Checked the spark plugs? Might need some fresh ones.

Also, does it run better when its cold, then starts missing once the car is warmed up? If thats what's happening, it could be a bad ECU water temp sensor too.

Maf was cleaned about two weeks ago.
New wires, rotor bug, rotor cap one week ago.
Have not found one vac leak.
Fuel pump and filter is about 6 months old.
Fuel tank was cleaned professionally when installed.
Plugs have about 1500 or so miles
Will check the o rings tonight.

Just ran to get food, and it ran perfect.
Got back in, super low idle again. like 100 to 300 rpms.

It seems to run about the same when cold or hot.
If I put car back in nuetrul, it will rev all the way up.

Could it be a load issue?

I have no clue.
I got no more answers for myself.
