You just doubled the cost of the vehicle. Tell us more details about everything you checked under the hood, mileage, location, conditions and don't replace anything until you prove the problem.

To clarify, did you replace the distributor's--

--housing

--cap

--rotor

--igniter

--coil?

Did you use OEM distributor parts or aftermarket ones?

First thing I would have checked was the coil, based on the symptom that it does not die until after warmup. Had the same symptom with my 91 Civic a few years ago. It was the coil. Because the shop was messing with me a bit, I ended up getting an entire new distributor (all of the above). In hindsight, given the age of the car and other known ailments (or coming ailments) with the original distributor, I think it was a good choice.
