Default car won't start

i have a 90 civic lx AT that won't start most of the time especially when the temp is hot. sometimes it taks a few cranks. when i check for sparks, sometime it'll have spark and sometimes it doesn't, but it still doesn't start. after you let it cool (about 30mins), it would start again, having sparks. usually i just wait for a few seconds then it would restart again, but now it's getting worst. if you drive it for a long time (1-2 hours), it will sound like it's going to stall when you stop, and it did twice (i have to rev a little). has no cel. i got new dist cap, wires and plugs before it started getting worst. 50 amp ign fuse is black but still connects. i might buy a ign coil but not sure if it's the problem. need some advise. thanks.
