Not sure what the double post was about, so I deleted the reply. Please remember we do this on our spare time, and can't answer all questions in the hour, some even take a couple days to get to. We are seriously trying to do our best, but sometimes we can't find the time to even login here. I'm sure you can understand about having a super full plate.

In answer to your question, I would start at the coil. If you are getting weak spark, like you said, take a look at the coil. I'm not sure what the exact values are for your coil, but you could always try a new one. They are fairly inexpensive for the 1993.
If that does not solve the problem, it's time to get a volt meter, and start testing circuits in the ignition system.
