Yes, check the ignition timing first.

Sounds like a ignition igniter. are you sure your CEL light is working you may have a major problem and dont know. You may be in limp mode.. that wont let your car rev past 3k. Was your new dizzy a white box part or a NEW OE part? I had this problem more than one time bro, sounds like you got a crap dizzy its not uncommon. Return your dizzy and go to carquest they have new oem parts no white box BS... If your timing was off your car would back fire into the intake and or exhaust and you would have a mess, its not timing cause 9 times out of 10 honda wont start if your timing is that far off.

Now check the mechanical timing.

As mentioned, does the CEL work?

sounds like bad dizzy.... i bought a starter from car quest and that thing was crap form the minute i got it

if its white box then its probably remanufactured and who knows if they just slap whatever in the box and sell it

original OEM FTW i also just had my dizzy go bad and just bought a good used one from a seller here for 70 bucks shipped
