are you sure that the timing is set right? if everything was not in the proper place when the belt was put on that could be your problem. all the timing marks have to line up in the right place and usually you have to be top dead center on number 1 cyl too.

You're reading I have a 93 Honda Accord LX.The car has been sitting for 10 months after the water pump went out. This, along with the timing belt was changed. Now it starts, but will die out after a couple seconds. What is the issue here?

I presume that everything was set in the proper place. We were very careful about keeping everything where it goes, including top dead center.
When the car is on (for the brief couple of seconds) and I step on the gas pedal, that will usually cause the car to stop running.

that is what it sounds like is that something is not timed right do/did you use a manual when you did it? sitting that long also could be the gas is dead in it. it is multi port injection right? have you changed the fuel filter? you can drop the tank and put sending unit in a container of fresh gas also or hook an inline pump to a fresh gas sorce if you have one,pump that is.

We did use the manual, but that doesn't mean we did it correctly. Yes it is multi port injection. We changed the fuel filter, spark plugs (they were fouled out), distributer, and we added fresh gas to it. The gas, fuel filter and spark plugs seemed to help some, but not enough to fix the problem. Could the fuel injector be ruined by the bad gas?

in a word yes. the gas eats at o-rings and othe rubber and plastic parts. really wish you knew for sure you got it timed right before you go that rout though. could be a bad crank position sensor also. are you sure your getting enough gas and spark also?
