I have a 1995 Honda Accord with the F22B2 engine.
I was driving back from school on the highway and miss shifted 5th to 2nd (trying to hit 4th) dropped the clutch and quickly pushed it back in and shifted back to 5th. I lost all power and had to pull over. as soon as i pushed the clutch in when i pulled over the engine died.

It turns over fine and sounds like it wants to run on 1 cylinder. Spits and sputters a lot. I waited a while and tried again and it fired right up. Ran perfect for about 5 seconds. I touched the gas and it died again. Has not fired up since. Got it towed home, the timing seems to be correct. one cylinder has 120psi compression the others have 130-140psi.

Any help is greatly appreciated! I work monday an hour away....
on a side note the cat was cherry red when i pulled over.

 

Timing "seems correct", I'd want to be sure.

Any stored codes?

Are the reg maint items up to date?

 

seems correct as in i couldnt get the harmonic balancer off to take the lower cover off so i based it off the marks on the harmonic blancer and the cam at TDC.

Turns out spun it so fast it sheered the rotor off in the distributor.
New cap and rotor, purrs like a kitten.

 

Niice congrats on the fix! Not sure how the rotor got sheared off though..

Also how would that explain the red hot cat?
