It's the only Honda I've owned (out of about 14 or so) that doesn't have a fuel guage.That was me, if it says "Honda" on it.

Sounds like you bought a lemon. Sounds to me like the timing belt snapped at some point, probably bending some valves or the rods and he replaced the belt and it crank up but ran like **** so he decided to sell it and be dishonest about it.

You can do a compression test. Any autoparts store should rent the testers out for around $20. Here's the instructions: http://www.c-speedracing.com/howto/c...t/comptest.php
post your results. You should see every cylinder within 20% of each other and they should all be over 100.
