I have a 95 civic ex and it wouldn't start. So I changed the started, distibuter and cap. Now it starts and runs (barely) It won't stay idling and if I floor the gas it won't go higher than 2200 RPMs. I can drive it around a little, but only in 1st gear. Once I try to shift into 2nd, it dies. I tinkered around with the timing on the distributer but nothing. Any advice?

 

could the spark plugs wires be in the wrong place on the cap? if so, what is the placement?

 

Is the CEL ON?
