I have a 95 accord with a h22a in it. I was just driving normally and when I was trying to accelerate a little, the car didn't want to give any power.. it started to slowly sputter and then die out on me. At first I thought it was my fuel.. since it was pretty low, but the gas light never turned on. So I walked over to the gas station to get some gas. I put 2 gallons in and tried to start her. Instead of starting, I got this nasty grinding/clanking noise as I'm trying to start it. It never started. Every attempt, you'll hear the nasty grinding or some random backfires. I was clueless.. and kept trying to start it. Eventually it turned on and I held the rpms at around 2k, if I let off, the car would just die. While the car is running, I still hear the nasty grinding/crunching. I drove it around for about a mile to further see what was wrong. Every time I tried to accelerate a little, there was barely any power. I just pulled over and it died on me. Whenever I try to start it up now, it's doing the same grinding/crunching sound and doesn't want to start. Problem? Thanks.

Update: I finally had time to pop the valve cover and this is what I found.

the timing belt is really loose, check your tensioner and adjust your timing it might have skipped
