Default Motor struggles and shuts down in the morning...any help!!???

hey guys, any help would be awesome... I'll leave my 95 civic si in the driveway overnight. When I go to work in the morning I will get about 5kms down the road and the tach needle starts jumpin all over the place and then the motor will shut down..this normallly happens while i'm doing 100kph, then i try to start it and it wont even try. If i wait a minute it will start right back up. After I leave it sit at work...its fine the whole drive home????

I've had the code read and it said somethin to do within the distributor. I recently replaced the coil and the ICM....and I just put a new distributor cap on.

The car has 280,000kms on her.

Any help guys would be awesome!!! thanks alot
