Default Honda Accord help, please

I have my late father-in-laws' '92 Honda Accord LX 4cyl. 150K miles, but still pretty good old car.

Runs fine most of the time, but yesterday while driving down the road I noticed it missing a little then the check engine lite came on and stayed on. Turned around and got it home, missing all the way, about 6 miles. Turned it off and found nothing obviously wrong under the hood. Couple minutes later I hit the key it started right up, no CEL and ran like a top. It acted the same way a couple days earlier in a friends drive way. Shut it off, started up and ran fine the rest of the day.

Can any of you Honda guys give me a lead where to start looking. I can work on the older 60's cars but technology has passed me by!!! Maybe a sensor or something??? Car has mostly been pretty trouble free so almost everything under the hood is original. I remember putting a new distributor in it for him yrs a go, but not much else that I recall.

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions, Jerry
