I have not seen this problem before so I can only guess. It's possible
that it is slipping or perhaps some teeth are missing or perhaps there may
be some oil or grease on the belt--causing it to slip. I have not worked
on a civic 93 but if you can run the car on idle while the cover of timing
belt has been removed--do it. Have a friend push in on the gas pedal while
you watch the belt. See if it is slipping or not working correctly.
Another option is to take it to a Honda dealership and let the mechanic
check it for you. An expert mechanic could figure out the problem after
removing the belt and taking a close look at the teeth.
