How to check fuel pressure regulator?
If you have rubber return hose, Pinch it closed with a pair of pliers. If it starts, replace the regulator. Usually when they go bad you can pull the vacuum line off it and smell gas. A fuel pressure gauge is the best tool to check it with.
Just put a new/reman distributor
first have to solve the problem the check engine light will tell you what's wrong by diagnosing the problem have to get the trouble code and find what causing it google.com has few guys posted how to diagnose this and find the source of the problem. might be concern on gas fuel filter clogged, or injector are also clogged,
I am going to replace my timing belt on my 90
I use a paint marker to mark the belt and gears. then when I have the belt off I transfer the marks to the new belt. That way there is no mistake and getting it off one tooth. And you dont have to worry about trying to line up marks on the cases and head. Just make sure you know which mark is the one for the cam and which direction the belt is facing.(put an arrow for the direction of rotation).
Also replace the waterpump and the tensioner pully while you are in there.(saves you from doing it again if one of those go out)
Hope this helps

Engine misses at idle. changed distributer, rotor
had a few issues with the temperature sensor that caused this type of problem,also check the temperature driving.
Does it heat up to mid gauge or does it stay low or drop when driving.Thermostats sticking open also cause idle issues in Honda range.
Remove the spark plugs and let me know what color the tips are;sooted up or clean.
Is this the EFI injected model or one of the carby models as the above suggestions affect the EFI,but temperature is important to all?
I hope this helps you or get back to me with your findings.
