90 Civic DX Wont Start

It cranks but usually never turns on. If I get a jump start, it turns on. And it usually turns on when it's cold. But when the weather is hot, or after taking it for a drive, it most likely wont turn on unless it gets a jump start. I already got the alternatror, battery, and starter checked and they're good. I also changed the spark plugs 3 months ago. I'm out of ideas on what could be wrong....

check your iacv on the intake manifold or maybe your fuel pump is not priming. usually the fuel pump relay goes out and it doesnt prime gas to injectors.

Pull the spark plugs, see if there covered in oil or fuel, after you crank it. If you don't smell any fuel, look into the main relay.
