Hi I had the same problem. And I had to replace both the coil and the control module in the distributor. There is a lot of people that told me the coil doesnt go bad but that fixed mine. I bought my car not running and had to learn from there. Who ever had the car last had left the ignition on and fried both! Hope this helps.

Honda 1990-1995 obd1 code retrieval
For most Honda vehicles between 1990-95 models, you can get the code yourself by using the diagnostic connector located in the passenger side kick panel. All you do is use a jumper wire in the 2 pin service connector. (There is a second connector with a 3 pin use for a scanner). You can then turn the key on and watch the code being flash in your dash panel check engine light indicator. On some models, a led light is used to flash the code instead and this led light indicator is located in the computer itself.

Shown below is the location of Honda diagnostic connector:



When counting the flashes, use 43 as a guide like 4 long flashes followed by 3 short flashes is code 43. Other code that follows is separated by a long pause.

Here are some common Honda OBD1 codes:

Code 0 and 11 Electronic Control Module (ECM)
Code1 Heated oxygen sensor A
Code 2 Oxygen content B
Code 3 and 5 Manifold Absolute Pressure
Code 4 Crank position sensor
Code 6 Engine coolant temperature

Code 8 Top dead center sensor
Code 9 No.1 cylinder position sensor
Code 10 Intake air temperature sensor
Code 12 Exhaust recirculation system
Code 13 Barometric pressure sensor
Code 14 Idle air control valve or bad ECM
Code 15 Ignition output signal
Code 16 Fuel Injector
Code 17 Vehicle speed sensor
Code 19 A/T lock-up control solenoid
Code 20 Electric load detector
Code 21 V-TEC control solenoid
Code 22 V-TEC pressure solenoid
Code 23 Knock sensor
Code 30 A/T FI signal A
Code 30 A/T FI signal B
Code 41 Heated oxygen sensor heater
Code 43 Fuel supply system
Code 45 Fuel supply metering
Code 48 Heated oxygen sensor
Code 61 Front heated oxygen sensor

SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE DONE A LOT OF STUFF TO CREATE A LOT OF PROBLEMS, GENERAL RULE IF YOUR GETTING FIRE AND GAS IT SHOULD RUN WHICH IS A THING OF THE PAST, DEALERS AND SHOPS DONT SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON DIAGNOSTIC MACHINES FOR NOTHING.. OH SHADE TREE MECHANICS ARE OUT ON A LIMB UNLESS YOUR WILLING TO CHASE GHOST IN WHICH CASE YOU BETTER GET THE OLE CREDIT CARD OUT AND WATCH FIRST FEW MONTHS BILL... SORRY TO BE THE BEARER OF BAD NEWS OR MAYBE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU, THERE COULD BE A SENSOR NOT WORKING, LOOSE CONNECTION,LOW FUEL PRESSURE,CROSSED WIRES, FUSE LINK BAD, IN WHICH CASE YOU'LL HAFT TO GO TO THE DEALER TO FIND OUT WHERE IT IS... GET MY DRIFT THIS IS JUST AMONG ABOUT A HUNDRED OTHER THINGS IT COULD BE,.... TAKE MY ADVICE, SAVE SOME MONEY, BITE THE BULLET AND GET IT TO A SHOP WHERE THEY CAN TROUBLE SHOOT IT AND FIX IT.. DONT FEEL BAD I USE TO BE A CAR GEEK TOO BUT AFTER GETTING MY FEELINGS HURT AS WELL AS MY POCKET BOOK I'VE LEARNED MY LESSON.....GOOD LUCK
