Engine at temp fan kicked on
Jumped timing connector engine light came on
The red mark is the one in the middle of the three clustered closely together, and it should be at 12* ... what makes you think that mark is at 11? I have heard that the problem may be with the timing belt itself. Have you replaced it? Are you sure it is installed correctly?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
