Default ef misfires when hot, then no start until cold

hey all, i have an 88 w/stock d16a6 no mods that starts up and runs beautifully but once it starts to get hot it sputters and then wont start until it cools down. i searched and the next step is to try to clean the iacv so it doesnt choke out once hot. i thought distributor but doesnt make sense that it would work great until hot. any ideas?
