Can you diagnose this one....?

Arrived at destination “A" (approx. 20 mile) attempted to start the 1986 Saab 900 s/914M 2.0 Engine, DOHC, 4 cylinder, 16 valve, Electronic Fuel Injection System, Engine Type: 202 (I just call it Bill), approximately 90 minutes later and wouldn’t start (demonstrated excellent charge and turn over attempts).
Waited 20 minutes…Billy started. Got it home…repeated scenario.
Procedures completed so far:
Ø Replaced entire distributor unit with new one.
Ø Change out spark plugs and wires.
Current results:
Turning over but it runs very bad (not street worth), “Bill” has sat in the garage for 3 weeks-discovered coolant leak from it leaking on floor. Gray bluish smoking from exhaust however, I noticed this about a week prior at start up but it disappeared after two blocks of driving. I also checked the oil after arriving home from destination “A” and I noticed the oil on the dipstick had a slight “foam” or bubbly appearance but had just had oil change one month before. At oil change, I had a lighter weight added (upon advise due to Phoenix extreme summer weather). I did “add” more of my regular weight of 10-40 after checking it because it just seemed to be running very hot (nothing registering on gauges, though) What are your thought Scandia wizards?
Thank you for all of your help, knowledge and happy belated Thanksgiving.
