Check the main relay on the car. It may have bad solder joints. I have a 1990 Honda Civic Wagon that did the same thing. Replaced Fuel injectors, ECU and did tons of testing and checking before I found out about the main relay being the cuplrit. Cost me $36 for a new relay and about 30 minutes to check and re-solder the joints on it before installing. I still have my old relay for backup after I repaired it. The bad solder joints in the main relay will cause the fuel pump to shut down and the ECU will signal a fuel problem because the bad joints in the main relay are not sending the signal. Happen during the heat of the day or just after making a short run and shutting the car off. You have to let things cool off and then reset the ecu to get it started, at least I did. After fixing the main relay, haven't missed a start since, unless you count bad batteries and alternators.
