Code 9 = Cylinder Position Sensor (CYP). Internal distributor sensors are not serviceable.
You will need to replace the distributor housing (genuine Honda only). Over 50% of new aftermarket distributors for Hondas, at AMHD, have not worked. The others have not been real reliable. To save money, replace the ICM and coil in the new housing:

No offence but that's why you buy quality used parts or brand new parts not ones from a junkyard
