    Does the CEL come on and go off after 2 seconds consistently, when the ignition switch is turned to ON (Position II)? If not, the ECM may be intermittently failing.

    The problem, then, is likely with the distributor. Be aware that over 50% of new aftermarket distributors for Hondas don't work at AMHD. The remainder that do work are usually not reliable. Try and substitute another distributor.

    I only recommend genuine Honda distributor housings, where it's okay to install aftermarket ICMs and coils to keep the cost down.
