    Maybe I should replace the ICM, coil, distributor housing, main relay, and ECM, or just take it to the honda dealership

    If the CEL comes on and goes off normally, when the ignition switch is turned to ON (Position II), the main relay and ECM are probably fine. I would start by replacing the ICM and coil. These are very problematic components on Hondas with over 120,000 miles, or 10 years, on them.
