    If the CEL comes on for 2 seconds and then goes out, when the ignition switch is turned to ON (Position II), then focus on the distributor. I suspect you did not install a new genuine Honda distributor--all others are junk, in my opinion. Over 50% of new aftermarket distributors for Hondas haven't worked at AMHD. I would also replace the coil, if it hasn't been replaced in 120,000 miles or 10 years, whichever came first.

    Install a genuine Honda distributor and your car should run reliably again.

    Great. Make sure that the distributor housing is at least made by Honda. It's fine to install an aftermarket ICM, to keep the cost down.
