Honda Civic b16

Hey people. I'm fairly new to the Honda community. I just recently bought a 1995 Honda Civic with a Honda DelSol b16 engine on it. The car won't run for crap. When is in low RPM the car doesn't respond at all, and when I completely accelerate it responds very very slow. Sort of like a cow. When it finally goes up to high RPM that's when it responds. What could this be? I mean, mechanics have been looking for this problems for a month already and they don't know what could it be. Please help.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Check if timing belt is off by a tooth or more?

Yes, they did tell me the timing belt was off by one tooth. Btw, before they sold it to me the car had a chip that altered the engine. Then they had it chipped to the original settings. So the last owner said "that could be it". But I tried that chip in another honda and it was fine.
