I think it's the computer

Found the same type of burned cap on my 1990 computer. It caused no start conditions and really bad miss at idle ( is any idle at all) when cold or especially when the air was damp and rainy. I chased the condition for about a year, it showed no codes, and finally decided to open the computer and look for a loose or cold solder joint on a component. That is when I found the bad cap. I replaced the cap with the same value but a slightly higher voltage and so far(3 months) so good. It is back to its old reliable self.

You can rebuild the traces if the damage is not to widespread. Mine took out the traces also but I rebuilt them using solder and bits of wire from some spare new resistors in all that electrical junk I have been saving for years.
