If the Check Engine Light comes on and then goes off after two seconds, when the ignition switch is turned to ON (Position II), focus on the distributor. Usually, replacing the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil solves the problem:

If the problem persists, one or more internal distributor sensors (CKP, CYP, or TDC) are damaged. Since these sensors are unserviceable, you will need to replace the distributor housing (Honda only) and install your new ICM and coil. Here's how to replace the distributor:

Alternatively, to save money, check your local salvage yard for a complete distributor.
