Icon5 Eg Civic stalled and won't start

I Have a 1994 Honda Civic Lx and I was driving it yesterday night and I felt a sputter as I was getting onto the freeway in 2nd gear as I was accelerating, I had felt this once earlier so I shifted to third and kept going but easier on the throttle and it did it again at around 4.5k rpms and then finally into fourth and I accelerated but nothing happened I looked at the dash and the car had stalled. I pulled over checked under the hood for anything obvious and I couldn't see anything out of place so I tried starting it and it just cranks. Got a tow home and now it sits, I bought this car recently and it has ~270k miles I replaced the spark plugs spark plug wires, Checked for spark in all 4 wires no CEL (except for downstream 02 sensor which is not installed due to after market exhaust) I can feel the main relay tick when I turn the key so I assume it's not the problem what else to due? I checked for fuel at the fuel filter outlet and it was coming out. Any suggestions? I was thinking possible out of timing like the belt skipped a tooth but I am unsure this is my first Honda and I have tried looking in many other threads but no success.

I'd probably pull the valve cover + timing cover and check the markings and go from there. Most of the markings are pretty visible so you shouldn't have too much of a problem seeing the timing marks.

I took off the valve cover and the belt cover aswell and the belt was pretty loose and at tdc from what I could see the bottom notch wasn't perfectly in line it was a little off. What to do from here should I replace the belt and whatever is making it loose and try to see if it runs?
