The Honda dealer should stand behind their work. Unfortunately, the
symptoms you've described sound like they may have gotten something wrong
with the timing belt. Do NOT drive the car. Have it towed back to the
dealership. If the Honda dealer does not stand behind their work then you
should contact Honda Motor Company Customer Service at...
