Hello TxGreaseMonkey,
My 92 Honda has a similar problem. First, it stalled sometime when driving. I waited about 15 min and it could start again. So, I decided to replace the distributor cap, rotor and/or even ICM. My version of distributor (Duralast) doesn't have a screw that secure the rotor. I took the distributor cap off, and I only noticed little corrosion on the electrodes and the on the rotor(the metallic part). I 've just cleaned them a little bit, and I also wanted to uninstall the ICM in order to check, but it seems that it is not so easy to uninstall it. So, I put everything back, since then it couldn't start anymore (it cranks but not start).
I'm sure that I put the wire set back in a good order. If it's not, can it start (maybe incorectly, but it can still start, right?)?
I've noticed that the CEL didn't go off after two seconds ( you said it should go off for a Honda Civic. Is it also true for a 92 Honda Accord?) There is only one 15-Amp fuse under the dash fuse box, isn't it? Can I just unplug it without disconnecting the negative cable on the battery?
Please help! Thank you.
