The check engine light (on my 98 GSR) went on a few weeks ago. A buddy of mine owns a car repair shop. He checked it out and said that the distributor was going bad.

However, my father (who's owned quite a few Hondas) and my 2 future brother-in-laws (who both have hooked up multiple cars) said that the distributor usually doesn't go bad.

Anyone else encounter this problem? I haven't had any trouble starting the car, so if it is the distributor it isn't gone yet...
