No spark for hot start - '90 200tqw

I’m getting no spark when cranking the engine when the engine is hot.  Once 
it cools to some unknown point, it starts immediately and runs great, and 
runs great when hot until shut off.  Thereafter, no start until cool.  No 
problem on recent cool day (70F), but consistent problem on warmer days.  It 
seems to be gradually happening when cooler.  Stock engine, no recent mods, 
repairs, damage.  Air conditioner has been intermittent.  Any thoughts?  
Ignition coil?  Hall sensor?  What components are specifically involved in 
starting, not involved thereafter, and could be heat sensitive?

Is there an exorcist in the house?
