    If the CEL comes on and goes off normally, it sounds like the internal distributor sensors are shot. Since they are not serviceable, I would install a new genuine Honda distributor housing. It's fine to install an aftermarket ICM and coil in the housing to save money. Aftermarket housings, however, are not reliable. Here's how to replace the ICM and coil:

    To save money, some prefer to go to salvage and buy a complete distributor. Here's how to replace the distributor:

    Honda distributors tend to last 50,000 to 100,000 miles.

    Do you know if there is an test to be sure that it is the distributor. By the way, thanks for the advise. God bless

    Outside of taking it to Honda, and having them tie into the Data Link Connector, I don't.
