. Check the ignition switch for wear or pitting:

. Ensure the CEL comes on and goes off normally.

. Check/replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor. Without the proper tools to remove the crank pulley bolt, damper pulley, and lower timing belt cover, you won't be able to do this yourself. This could easily account for the problems you are having. Heat is the enemy of CKP Sensors.

. Focus on the distributor, if the problem persists. Over 50% of new aftermarket distributors for Hondas don't work at AMHD. I only recommend genuine Honda distributors.
