Install a genuine Honda distributor housing, along with an aftermarket igniter and coil--this will keep the cost down. Aftermarket manufacturers of Honda distributors can't seem to get the CYP, TDC, and CYL position sensors right. I've seen people go through a half-dozen aftermarket Honda distributors and still not fix the problem. This will solve your problem and give you the reliability you need.
