Piston #1 dead due to injector??
okay, I have searched and so far only found topics on upgrading injectors, cleaning injectors, how to do a compression test, how to replace tbelt, replacing valve cover gaskets, etc. etc.
Heres the problem: About a week ago i replaced all accessory belts and the timing belt, water pump and got brand new spark plugs, and everything was line up to spec, getting fuel and spark. I warm her up to normal idling before i took it for a test drive and notice that the idle started dropping within 2 minute. So i figured it was normal, and let her idle a little longer. I pulled the spark wire on piston #1 and nothing happened? the idle didnt drop, nothing. I tried on all other three pistons and the idle dropped like what you'd expect for a car to do, then I tried the injectors and the same happened except piston #1. I figure it must need a compression test but i wasn't going to just jump to conclusion before a drive test. I pulled it out of the driveway started down the block, came to the first stop making a complete stop and then she dies. Put it in park, start her up again, put it in drive and drove her back home. Now I checked the t-belt again and everything was still line up, no oil drips, no leaks, nothing. I pulled the plug on #1 and it was burnt black (the plug was brand new). This morning i went to start her and the same deal happened. Now i can't figure what is wrong with #1 except maybe test the injectors for resistance or do a compression test? When the T-belt snapped would it cause valve lash and now needed adjustments
? so anyone that have had this problem before please help me out, i need this thing running before snow hits.
notes: 93' Accord EX, f22a6 motor, Auto, t-belt snapped while car is idling at 2k rpm-->had to replace, now piston #1 not working?

Black plug means you are getting fuel, remember, Honda is an interference engine, broken timing belt usually means bent valve(s). It looks like this happened to you.
Just for giggles, check valve clearance with respect to the other valves, believe it or not, I did a valve job and head gasket (of course) and only touched the bent valves, another cylinders valves went tight, I lost compression and no power loss from that cylinder when spark plug unplugged, did a valve adjustment, all was well. I have no idea how that happened, gremlins I guess.
