P303 on a 96 accord, I’m going INSANE!!!

[Bret]

I made a new thread because i think i hi-jacked somebody’s thread, and u/FATDOG (pete) sorry about that 🙁

1996 Accord
2.2L F22B2 (non-vtec)
5 spd manual
all stock

A little bit of back info

Did a head gasket after the radiator went and the SO overheated it driving 30 miles home
got it up and running, but rough

Replaced:
Secondary O2 sensor- was bad, and throwing a code
ECT sensor on the tstat housing- fans arnt kicking on but thats another day kind of problem because i havent had it up hot enough to kick it on yet to fully test
ignition wiring harness- PO had added a hack job alarm, and the wiring drove me insane looking at it.
Thermostat

All new gaskets went in with a Felpro kit after having the head skimmed and crack checked.

I’ve tested for spark, and can hear the injectors clicking, i cleaned them while the head was off by making a hose adapter with hose clamps and used carb cleaner while i applied voltage to clear them

Valve adjustment is on point (i can use shims, I’m a machinist by trade)

I do have an Innova 3040C scanner, so heres my freeze frame
Fuel sys1- CL
Fuel sys2- NA
Calc load- 37.0
ECT (F)- 188.6
STFT B1 (%)- 12.5
LTLF B1(%)- 0.0
MAP(inFg)- 11.2
Eng. RPM- 694
IAT (F)- 105.8
TPS- 9.4

This reading was taken at operating temp, as the code wasen’t thrown until then.

Also did a compression test, WOT just after this code to be sure
***im pretty sure my compression is low across the board, think they’re supposed to be around 150-170

Dry/Wet
CL1- 120/130
CL2- 118/130
CL3- 120/132
CL4- 120/135

Sorry about this wall of text, wanted to give as much info as possible.
any and all help is appreciated.

as a quick side question. are the front sensor, the one coming into the head from the rad hose, and the rear sensor, the one in the tstat body, the same sensor?
as far as i know the ect sending unit is the smaller one prong hanging out in the center of the head on the left side of it, if your standing up front.
im assuming they both must be functioning within service specs to operate the fans correctly?
