I had a '99 Hyundai that did this same thing...it was the fuel pump.

I also had a '93 Civic that did this and it turned out to be the main relay.

Both cases I could hear the pump running but in the first place it must not have been building enough pressure.

Are you sure the relay is ok? This is a common problem in Hondas.

Replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) inside the distributor. Be sure to apply silicone heat transfer compound to the back of the ICM; otherwise, it won't last long. If the coil was not new, when you replaced it, I would install a new one while you have the distributor open. This is also the ideal time to replace the rotor, if it has not been changed in 60,000 miles.

Main relays can also be the culprit, if cold solder joints on the printed circuit board open up when the daytime temperature increases. Main relay problems are related to ambient temperature changes, not engine temperature changes.
