Probably your distributor.

Check the coil in the distributor, the main relay, then possibly the ignitor. It's almost always the coil. If you have a later model Honda, it just may be the main relay alone.

Test with a volt/ohm meter, or an LED style test probe to protect your electronics.

If bad coil, put on one that you know is good. Swapping one wire at a time.
Maybe get a spare from a junk yard and test them both.
Plastic bag the spare, label it and keep it on the shelf...-Bob

The coil will look like the one that you have on the car now.
Shoot us a pic inside the distributor and we can tell you which part it is.

I test 'em to be sure that I'm not putting on a bad one
or I would use a good coil from a car that runs....

Convenient and cheapest......
If bad coil, put on one that you know is good, either from a buddy's car or from a junkyard. Swapping one wire at a time.-Bob

What part of town are you in?

Default LKQ locations-St Pete

You are in luck. You are close to LKQ u-pull it.
It costs $2 to get in their yard. One yard near downtown, and a better one near the St Pete/Clearwater Airport.

They can print out an interchange list of what distributors will interchange with your car......then you can prowl their yard for a car with a good distributor and/or parts.

The list (worth $2 to me) goes into your tech folder for the car, for future reference.-Bob
