Stubby79 called it. You replaced something and the symptom went away. Wait and see if it comes back before changing anything. Do you have the factory service manual? On the older cars these can often be found free in PDF online. I have a bunch of FSMs for my 98 Civic and other civics. The trouble-shooting sections, I guess intended for dealership mechanics encountering the car new, aree often great and authoritative.

One nagging question: wouldn't the resistor fail throw a CEL?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
