Hi:
After you changed the timing belt, did you check the timing?
It is easy to get the timing off a tooth or so, and even though the car will start, it will not run correctly. My guess is the timing is severely retarded, instead of advanced, as it should be.
Worst case, the timing belt will need to be reinstalled, with the possibility that the distributor timing can be adjusted a little to help correct the problem.
Also , check to make sure all vacuum hoses were reconnected on the engine after the timing belt was replaced.
