Default Help! MY 08 CIVIC WONT START AFTER DRIVING FOR AWHILE

HELP!!
my 2008 civic has decided that after being on the road for awhile that it does not want to start after it has been turned off. The alternator and battery were checked as I know how to do that myself. And they both are fine. The coils are all NEW as they all went within 6 months of my warranty ending and we did the spark plugs at the same time. After awhile of it sitting it does start, yesterday we had to jump it to get it to start, but I am honestly not sure if it needed a jump or to just cool down but I panicked as I was running late. I am at a loss and really want to try before I take it into the Honda dealership as they cost my first born and I'm a single mom who cant really afford a shop if it can be avoided.

Is it cranking ? When it's not starting you need to check for spark and check for fuel to help narrow it down.
