Problems with 1995 Honda Accord VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

The replacement of the failing ignition distributor (engine light is on), which is essential part of the emission control system, is required on my 1995 honda accord wagon lx. in addition, there is a significant decrease to the mileage and speed sensor may need to be replaced. according to honda north america the extension of the emission warranty (tsb# 98-081) granted to all 1995-v6, 1996-all and 97-all accords, is not applicable to my year and model. since the same exact issues were reported for vehicles covered by extension of the emission warranty (tsb#98-081), honda should also extend this coverage to 1995 v-4 accords.*jb
