Default Hard to start when cold

I just had my ignition control module replaced, car ran fine untill i tried to start it in the morning...it started but died when i gave it gas..i let it sit, started it, and was runnning really rough until the car warmed up a little, then the idle smoothed out..pulled codes and im misfiring on cyl 1 3 and 4...but the weird thing is when its warmed up, i had no problem, i drove it 160 miles yesterday with no problems, then this morning same thing...itll run really rough, when i try to give it gas, itll die..now it sounds like theres no spark..im starting to get sick of these damn problems...help thanks-John
