Well... alternator passed test as did battery... but my ignition coil just failed a test, and an ICM/igniter "input test" from the manual also points to a failed coil. But here's the kicker: testing as soon as the coolant reached running temps indicated the coil was fine when I tested it a few weeks ago. The coil seems to fail only after the distributor gets hot after 15 mins or so of driving. Hahaha!! I am hoping this solves it, but I'll test the ICM and the spark itself once I have the coil replaced.
BTW, honda-tech's moderator RonJ@HT is guiding and querying me via a thread their. Great know-how and advice there. Hope this is the beginning of the end of my running problems...
