Default Problem starting when hot

ok, i have a 1997 honda civic ex. been having a problem getting it to start only when it's been sitting in the heat for a while. Takes a few times. I know common problem is main relay so i replaced that, still same thing, also the fuel pump has been replaced and when you turn key you hear it kick on....what else could be the problem? just weird how its only when it's hot outside. also the starter doesn't seem to be the problem, not making any noises or anything just sounds and cranks normal. Any ideas??

Check spark plug wires, cap, coil and ICM.

The ICM is inside the distributor. You can take it out and take it to an autozone to get it tested, also the same with the ignition coil. They are both in the dizzy.
