Code 14, rough idling, misfiring sub 2000 rpm, Fixed. Odd issue. Options

OK guys. I bought a 1995 ST recently. its always idled rough when warm, but when i first start it, it runs fine. well lately its gotten worse so i replaced the WHOLE dizzy w/ a known good one, plugs/wires(new toyoa), and throttle body. Helped for awhile then the issue returned. It got steadily worse till tonight where it completely died on me while driving. wouldnt start. no spark at all.. i swapped dizzys out again and it reverted back to the original random misfires.

Replaced:

• Dizzy
• Plugs
• Wires
• PCV valve
• IAC
• TPS

So i checked the CEL codes and i pulled a code 14: Ignition Signal - no IGF signal to ECU 4 times in succesion.
Not the ignitor, cant be since 2 had the same issue.
i wiggled the wiring around and no changes.
Resetting the ECU helps for about 20 min.
Wiring or the ECU is the only other things i can think of unless there's something i missed.

Any suggestions?

K, im staring at this big ol book. Word for word here...Open or short in IGF (ignition confirmation signal.....to the ECM) or IGT (ignition signal....to the igniter) / Igniter / ECM. You could check for opens/shorts in the harness/connector on your ECM, but that probly wont be that fun. Probly the lease paingful would be to check the igniter connector and body ground (9-14 v) or the ignition coil (primary resistance cold: 0.36-0.55 ohms, hot .45-.65 / secondary cold 9.0-15.4k ohms, hot 11.4-18.1k ohms)
