car turns on but when given gas dies. engine light on.

Recently got my car fixed by replacing the ignition switch. in the last couple of weeks i have also replaced spark plugs, wires, rotor cap and rotor along with the Fuel filter. it has been driving and idling pretty ruff and as of today driving it home i was giving it gas to where it felt like it had no power till i finally came to the point of my gas pedal all the way to the ground with the check engine light ON it didn't t wanting to go anywhere at this point. i was lucky enough the side road opened up to where i wasn't stuck in the middle of the road. i ended up getting it towed home . car starts up but wants to die.

Have the timing checked . Its probably the timing belt has stretched or slipped . Honda timing belts should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. depending on how you drive . Hope this helps
