My 96 prelude timiing belt broke, causing bent valves. A mechanic removed the head and had a valve job done on it. He changed the timing belt, water pump,plugs,wires,distributor cap,rotor and put it back together, but it ildes rough and is missing; plus it will not stay runing.

Hi wmsservices,

You need to
1. Recheck the timing belt synchronisation.
2. Check valve clearance.
3. Check ignition timing.
4. Idling speed.
