Check your tps sensor if you screwed it in, because it can be too far left or right. There is a way you can test it to the right specs with a multimeter. look it up on HT.

Another thing you should also check it your timing, it could be too advanced.

Also is it redlining at 3k or bogging out?

First off, Hondas don't use MAFs.

Second off, exactly what motor and ECU do you have?

Your head is wrecked? What is that supposed to mean? Yes, you need to check your mechanical and ignition timing, and also do a compression test.

haa i mean as it has me pure confused tryin to figure out the problem tryed the timing and that seems to be perfect,,would it throw a code if there was a problem with the timing.? all i can think of now is a fuel problem maybe a injector has packed in.? :/ the car starts up now and just dies of straight away as if it isnt geting any fuel.??

Seems to be perfect, or is perfect? Post pictures of the crank and cam at TDC. While you're doing that, do a compression test. You can buy/borrow/rent the necessary tool from your local parts store. While you're there, you should also buy a HEI spark tester (they're cheap), and a fuel pressure tester. After you've posted those pictures, we can walk through how to use each tool to get some real diagnostics done.
