have you checked your engine light, cause in that year is when honda had both, engine light on dash, and the engine light on the ECU. so if you don't have a dash light, the ECU is under the passager side carpet,(under the glove compartment, carpet can be simply pulled back to read the blinks on the ECU)
let me know if you have one and I can look up the code.
my first inclination would be an O2 sensor dead and making it run rich.

the engine light goes on and off?? or just when you start the car when the rest of the dash lights come on and off? and where is it on yours, on dash or on the computer?
cause if it comes on and off frequently, or any time after that, that may be code 1, which is 02 sensor.
