    If the CEL comes on for 2 seconds and then goes out, when the ignition switch is turned to ON (Position II), then the problem is likely distributor related. Most aftermarket distributors for Hondas at AMHD have not worked. Only use a genuine Honda distributor.

    Normally, replacing the ICM and coil in the distributor solves the problem. This is a cheaper solution, if you haven't turned in your old housing.

    Installing an aftermarket ICM and coil in a genuine Honda distributor housing has been fine, however.
