Default Car starting problems

alright here's the senerio...

i have a '90 Civic Si and it will not start after being driven for a long distance. i thought it was the distributor and went ahead and replaced it since it needed to be done anyways, but that didn't seem to fix the problem. recently happened today, drove car to a friends house and went to start it and nothing...turn the key and get nothing...power comes on but nothing happens when i turn the key. i waited an hour and it started, which is what i usually have to do...could it be the starter?

It could be. The starter may just be getting too hot. It has never hapened to me however I had the opposite problem, wouldn't start when cold but when hot it would start just fine. That was a weird one.
