I have a 1991 Honda Civic LX 1.5L. I need to replace the distributor and not sure how to ID the one I have there is no ID markings.It has two(2) plugs one with 2 prongs and the other with 5 prongs The reason why I am replacing the distributor is because the rotars keep breaking seems like the hold down screws breaks so I drilled through the shaft and installed a nut/bolt to secure the rotor on but it still broke (I tried lock tite before I drilled ). Someone told me if I didn't use geniune hond parts that this would keep happening so I am going to replace the distributor and then ho to honda and get a cap and rotor

I think I would suspect the fuel injectors, especially since that is the code you are getting. Fuel injectors clog up, get dirty, stop working the way they should. They can be cleaned (you can remove them and send them to a company that cleans them and makes them like new, or, they can be cleaned in the car by some garages, or, you can get a can of Sea Foam spray and spray it into your throttle housing several times to try to do some cleaning that way, or, you can dump a can of Sea Foam (non-spray) into your gas tank and run it with the fuel through your injectors). You should probably check when you first start the car to see if you are getting any leakage from one or another injector (one or another may look moist or wet if the seals are leaking). You can also do the long screwdriver test (hold the bit of the screwdriver against each injector in turn and listen with your ear against the other end to see if each is clicking regularly). I would try the Sea Foam first.
I hope this is helpful in getting you started on a fix.

Sounds like a distributor or timing issue, a common issue
with these cars sometimes. Our Civic LX was giving us the same codes, We
replaced the distributor and reset the timing... problem resolved. Not sure
about the 2005 Civic year model, the ignition system may have changed with the
newer models...
