    If the Check Engine Light 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. Only install a genuine Honda distributor housing (all others are suspect), where it's fine to install an aftermarket Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil to keep the cost down.
