If you are looking at the correct timing marks and they're aligned, you should have no problems. Did you rotate the engine several times after installing the belt to make sure it returned to the right settings? I would double-check the timing marks and make 100% sure that you are using the correct marks and have them set after a few revolutions of the crank. If it was running fine before the belt job, then it almost has to be the timing. It's possible that you broke a plug wire or two internally if you removed those to do the job. Just think about everything you touched and what you may have altered if the timing is OK.
