well to start, 2 of my injectors were bad(and leaking) fixed, the distributor wasnt in all the way at first because the so called mechanic I had do the thermostat didnt put it back in the right way. We had to do a few adjustments with timing and what not. The distributor cap and rotor were dirty and had build up all over the place and that was causing it to sputter out and die. My muffler is on but the exhaust is not going all the way back cause theres a huge hole in the catalytic converter. There was a vacuum line collapsing into itself causing the engine not to run right and die. We have a few more adjustments to make and we need to fix the tachometer . And because i pulled injectors off of a honda prelude vtec in the junkyard im gonna run some lucas gas treatment through it.

Glad you got it solved man. I dont really understand how the mechanic didnt put the distributor on wrong though.. they only go on one way with hondas.. Either way though no matter. Congrats man
