    My husband has a 1990 Honda Civic LX and he has the EXACT problem that you are experiencing. We have not got it fixed yet but we have been told by a mehanic that it can be battery connectors an wires to the battery, starter or that it will need a good tune up amonst a few other things. I will let you know what is wrong with our's when we get it fixed

    If that doesn't solve the problem, then I would replace the Ignition Control Module. Here's how:
