Default I have no clue(car wont start if its hot, some times...)

So heres the issue, my car will not start, sometimes, when it is warm. Like I stop at the gas station fill up and get in and it wont start; it cranks but it does not fire, there is fuel (i think i hear injector pulsing when I step on the gas and am cranking the engine. After about 1 to 10 min of periodicle cranking my car will then start and run fine.

new cap
new rotor
new sparks
new wires

Any ideas, I want to find the source of this issue?

Runs great!
Idles at 2k on cold start but after 5 min of idling its down to 720ish and stable.
Plenty of pickup. Doesnt seem to be moisture related and it will only not start if its warm but its a not allways.

What kind of plugs and wires did you put in? Also, check your grounds to make sure they're secure

Nkg plugs, bosh plat wires are fairly new.

Ditch the Bosch wires, Hondas don't like bosche.

also check your starter cause the solenoid might be sticking. Im aslo a mechanic in the military that was my biggest issue with the trucks i work on out here so goto auto zone and have them bench test it.
