Default car won't start when it is over 65 outside

I have a 91 Acccord EX 2dr that won't start when it is over 65 degrees
outside. The car only does this when it is hot outside. The car will sit
all night and when i go to start it to commute to work it won't start.
This problem has been on and off for the last three years. When i try to
start it all it will do is act like it isn't getting gas (but it is) and if
I take off the distributer cap the 4 prongs will look like the are fouled
out (oxidized). If I scrape the oxidation off ot the prongs and wait
twenty minutes it starts with no problem, smokes a tiny bit, then takes me
the 140 miles to and from work. I have tried new: wires, plugs, cap, rotor
and it still happens from time to time and every time I take it to the
dealer for diagnostics they say nothing is wrong. Something has to be
wrong if it doesn't start. right??
