Does the CEL come on and go off after 2 seconds, when the ignition key is turned to ON?

The odds are that you need to replace the distributor housing, because of damage to the internal CKP, CYP, or TDC sensors. I only recommend using genuine Honda housings, due to many problems we've had with new aftermarket distributors. Install your new ICM and coil in the new housing, being sure to coat the back of the ICM with heat-transfer silicone grease. I would also check all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter:

Additionally, I would clean the main ECM ground on the thermostat housing and then reset the ECM.

Be sure to mark your distributor, before removal. This should help:

Clean all connectors going to the ECM and coil with #240 abrasive cloth. Crimp with pliers, if necessary, to ensure they are tight.

How long do I need to disconnect the negative. Battery terminal to reset the computer?
