Head Gasket
Would a blown head gasket only make the motor run like crap when it was hot and run great when it was cold. Just wondering? Thanks

Usually not....
A bad head gasket would cause the car to overheat and dump more white smoke into the air than a factory smokestack. Plus it usually won't run well at any time after it blows.
I'd check your coil and ignition module
