Icon6 95 accord EX need help asap at my wits end!!!

I have a 95 accord ex, starts fine when cold but when she warms up the slightest bit is the problem. (After cranking the car it runs 100% fine) So far i have changed, the dizzy, the main relay, the CTS and yet still have this problem. It cranks and immediately dies... if i floorboard it it will crank after being warm. Any ideas?

I had a similar problem, and amazingly it turned out to be the positive battery terminal connection. I replaced the post clamp terminal at the end of the positive battery cable, and the problem went away.

My culprit would be the head gasket... compression test showed (From 1-4) 140, 110, 90, 130. Noticed a little bit of white smoke and water out of the exhaust.. hopefully caught it in time :/

I replaced it, and i want to say the heads warped on mine. Tired of messing with it, looking for a new motor as we speak.

may be easier and cheaper to simply look for a new head. That would also remove the possibility of a valve issue in the current head. Are you sure its not the rings? if you squirt a little oil in the spark plug hole, before you insert the compression tool in the bad cylinders and the compression goes up, there you go.... Stay away from the used motors from overseas. they are terrible.
