'96 F22B2 Problems after Timing Belt Change
I am new to the forum and have done a thorough search and haven't come up with an answer so I decided to post.
The car is a 1996 Accord 4-door with an F22B2 engine and an automatic trans. The timing belt failed and bent the a couple valves on the number two cylinder. Both my father and I have a fair amount of mechanical knowledge so we decided to do the repair ourselves with the proper Chilton's as the guide.
After the initial tear down, we decided to have a friend of the family that is an ASE Certified Master Tech come over and replace the water pump and cam seal. That went fine. Then we got all the necessary parts and gasket sets and put it all back together. We followed all of the procedures outlined in the service manual for assembly. Engine was turned TDC when the belts were installed, the rod was inserted into the maintenance hole in the block to align the balancer shaft, and everything was triple checked to make sure the timing was correct.
Here is the problem: After we put it all back together and we tried to start the engine, it had a very difficult time trying to start. The car will start and run normally for about one second, and then die. Once we got it to start and stay running (by feathering the gas pedal), when you give the car gas, it will not exceed 3,000 rpm. It acts like there is an imaginary rev limiter at 3,000 rpm and will bounce off the 3,000 rpm mark very rapidly. Also, when you put the car in gear and try to drive it, it will not exceed 5 mph no matter how much gas you give it.
Any ideas or suggestions is greatly appreciated, this has now become a 2 week project that has us beating our heads against the wall!

check engine light coming on? under normal conditions it should come on for a few seconds when the key is turned to the "ON" position and then go off if there is no code.
check compression and ignition timing. double check all sensors.
