Questions:
Is it a carburetor or fuel injected model?
Did the slow take off occur before or after you changed the plugs, wires, and timing belt?
If it started after plugs, wires, and timing belt, I tend to believe the timing relationship between the cam and crank has changed (cam and crank are not timed together properly, off by a tooth or two). Unfortunately you will need to partly tear into it again to verify the timing marks used when the timing belt is changed are perfectly aligned.
Sound a little like block exhaust or exhaust system starting to fail. If not this, the spark plugs are suspected. Have an old set of plugs around that you can replace to find out. Good luck.
SOUND LIKE ENGINE IS FLOODING. FUEL INJECTORS IS LEAKING FUEL WITH ENGINE OFF.TRY FILLING GAS TANK UP.AND PUT A BOTTLE OF FUEL INJECTION CLEANER IN GAS TANK DRIVE AROUND A LITTLE SO THE CLEANER CAN CLEAN INJECTORS.
Check your compression. If you don't have a compression checker, take the plugs out, shoot a squirt of oil in each cylinder, replace plugs and crank engine. If engine starts, you are probably looking at a bad set of rings.
