Exclamation MY CIVIC WONT START!!! very irritating

ok, this is how it started. first, i started it up and drove it down the road for about a mile and a half. all of a sudden it loses power and sounds like one of the plug wires popped out. then i slowed down but before i hit the brake it died and was now coasting. then it smelt kinda funny like a burning smell but it was only for a second. i got out and of course it was dark in the morning, the wires were fine and i couldnt see anything that was too obvious just by looking. it turned over but sounds like one of the cylanders is missing. i checked the plugs they were fine but i did a tune up just in case. still nothing and it sounded the same. now i had a buddy tow my car home and ive done a few things to it. i checked the timing and timing belt, everything lined up and the belt was intact, the belt looked a little loose but i dont think loose enough to jump time and enough to not have my car start. i replaced the distributor including the coil and the ignitor. i took the intake apart and the injectors are shooting gas but, to be honest i dont know how much gas is supposed to be shot out, but it was squirting. i took the valve cover off and all the springs were moving, im not sure if that is something that will determine the problem. the battery is fine, and the battery connections look fine. the idiot light doesnt stay on at all, and i have checked every fuse that i could find. thats pretty much all the info i can think of right now. its a d15 sohc. please i am so frustrated that i bought a new car that i dont think i need, or want but i need a way to get around.
