B16A problems, idles/runs rough and has now power over 5k rpm's
 
So i was driving the other day when i was confronted with a little race from a light. Afterwards i came up to the next stoplight and pushed in the clutch to coast to a stop when i noticed i had a rough idle. so i stopped in the next parking lot and checked a few things over. oil looked great, radiator was not bubbly, no smoke, good spark all the way across. i also didnt hear anything odd other than the idle. So i tow it home and i look into things some more. my compression was reading #1: 190, #2: 160, #3: 170, #4: 190. my wideband is reading 9:1 at idle and no better when i up the rev's. My plugs are blacker than black, my exhaust smells like fuel. My next step was checking the timing and maybe a leakdown test.

Anyways i was thinking maybe my timing belt jumped a tooth and bent valves. My othe thoughs was a sensor issue. gotta check my check engine codes..

does anybody have any idea's given the info i have provided?

P.s. i am running 9psi w/ a jackson racing supercharger.

Things have changed. it wont rev over 4500rpm's. like its hitting a rev limiter.

replace your spark plugs and see how your b16a runs. Your iat sensor controls your a/f ratio and that might have went out.. this happened on mine and my plugs got blacker then black.

What i found was my map sensor hose came disconected. i cut about a half inch.off the hose and.reconnected it. now my car will not reset from limp mode. my hondata is also not lighting up like it used to??? never had an issue with the hondata. calling a dealer in the morning to.ask a few questions.

Fix your compression issues first.
