    If the CEL comes on and goes off normally, it sounds like the internal distributor sensors are shot. Since they are not serviceable, I would install a new genuine Honda distributor housing. It's fine to install an aftermarket ICM and coil in the housing to save money. Aftermarket housings, however, are not reliable. Here's how to replace the ICM and coil:

    Honda distributors tend to last 50,000 to 100,000 miles.
