ignition control module ??
 

I have a 95 accord EXR 2.2 vtec. Sometimes when the engine is warm the
car will develop a miss. It seems to only be on the number one
cylinder. It misses at idle and threw excelleration. The miss is not
always consistent. It goes from a subtle to a harsh miss and it
doesn't seem to matter if its a humid rainy day or a very dry day. If
you turn the car off and let it cool down it will run fine again. I
have changed plugs and wires and swapped injectors and it still misses
on the same cylinder. When it is missing there is a very strong smell
of raw fuel. Could my problem be the ignition control module?

If it wasn't a Honda I'd suggest a sticking valve. Have you ever checked
the valve clearances for the heck of it?

How about the distributor cap and rotor?
