    Here is the background....

    1989 Honda Accord, 2.0 FI SOHC 5 speed, 205K miles.

    Timing belt went out while taking off from a red light.

    Got the belt changed out; the marks lined up perfectly (so I think)


    The Problem:

    Car will start and run for about 10 seconds at 3000 RPM and then shut down.
    It will do this EVERY time I fire up the car. The engine seems to sound
    fine.

    Did I miss something in the change??? Here are some thoughts.

    - Belt one tooth off
    - never touched the balance shaft (never found any data to tell me to)
    - wicked vacuum leak

    Any help is appreciated
