Check distributor.....not cap and rotor ......replaced many on early 90's Accord...you should be able to get a reman from Honda.....or call and ask a Honda service writer thats experienced(been with Honda 5 plus years) if you don't believe me, most will be happy to say what the common problems are. And just stick to the basics, this link may shed some light. I just thing your overthinking it.
