The most probable cause is the EFI relay. It is located under the dash high up about where you left knee is on a left hand drive car.

It is a balck metal relay a little larger than most and is secured with a 10mm bolt. It is a common failure on your vehicle.

you need a 3 foot person with 4' arms to get it out. It is a dealer only item and about $100.00+ (US)

I have a 93 Honda civic and mine was doing the same thing. I just got it fixed, it was the relay. Cost me about 90 including labor. ($20 labor) I got my coil replaced for 200 last year and it wasn't the problem!
But it hasn't been having trouble since I just got it fixed 2 weeks ago, and it's been hot here. Good luck
