So? Changing a timing belt is no guarantee that it was done properly.
It is no guarantee that it was tensioned properly and didn't snap 2K miles
later.

Then your car runs. Congradulations.
If it doesn't, then clearly some test wasn't done.

Have you pulled a spark plug and verified that the ignition system generates
enough spark to jump 1/2"? Have you checked the timing?

Have you measured the fuel system pressure? What was the pressure?
Does the computer have any codes to report? Does the computer report that
everything is OK?

Was a compression test done? What were the compression results for each
cylinder?

If you using a mechanic, ask him to run the troubleshooting flowchart in the
honda service manual. If he hasn't a service manual, get your car to a
competant mechanic!
