Default 88 civic wont start when hot

Hey i have a 88 civic wit the 1.5 and it wont start when its hot. First off its not all the time either some times it will start right up some times it wont. When it wont start if i leave it long enough it will start, or if im in a hurry i pull the negative and reset the comp and it will start. When it wont start if i crank long enough it will log a injector code. i changed the throtle body for a unrelated reason (it was from the wrecker so it had a diffrent set of injectors in it), and the car is still doing it. Also about 8 months ago i replaced the distributor b/c the car would just die and not start. So i was thinking it could be the distributor on its way out? Any ideas would be awsome.
