    Replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil:

    An internal distributor sensor may be breaking down. The next step is to install a genuine Honda housing, reusing your new ICM and coil. Over 50% of new aftermarket distributors for Hondas have not worked at AMHD.

    That is what I did. Could it be a ground problem of something in that nature

    Ensure you applied a light even coat of heat transfer compound to the back of the new ICM.

    Does the CEL stay on when the car does not start?
