First its not a HOnda but seek help immediately.

I have a 1997 Mazda 626 4 cyl.

I just had the timing belt/ and timing tensioner changed.
I paid the man, took the car and was getting some slight pinging. Went pay,
the turn the distributer about an inch and things were fine. Came home when
for run later that day and the no compression.....no power....spuddering.

Went back to mechanic had compression test done and the results were.....175
on cylinders 1 and 2.....and 25 on 3 and 4.
He tells me the head gasket is gone between those two valves low on
compression.

My question is would have it jumped the timing....and if so would this cost
the low compression in 3 and 4 cylinder?
its strange to me the car was fine then just as I have the belt changed this
happens.

Please help
thanks

I have a 96 Honda accord lx non vtec. Where exactly is the IAT sensor. I was
looking at my manually and now it seems like where i thought the iat sensor
was is the iac sensor. From in the book it looks like its behind the intake
manifold towards the lower right hand side looking at the engine. please
help!

The IAC valve is a tubular looking thing mounted on the back of the
manifold on my car ('94 Civic). The IAT sensor is mounted next to it
(downstream of it) and is threaded straight into the manifold. The wires
to from the IAT sensor go straight back, the wires from the IAC valve go
out sideways to the right. I know, poor description and wrong engine,
but it is all I have.

If you know anything on a tec distributor that goes to a 96 honda accord lx
f22b2 engine, please help. I need to know after you take off the
cap,rotor,and the black cover piece, theres a metal plate with 3 screws,
when i take off the 3 screws i try to pry it off but will not budge. behind
the metal plate is a black box with a yellow and black wire connected to it,
is that the internal ignition coil? My manual does not cover this
distributor.
