my guess would be your fuel filter. Check your entire fuel supply, from filter, pump and output.

BUCKING AND SURGING IS MOSTLIKELY A PROBLEM WIH THE IGNITION SYSTEM

you sure when you did the timiing belt that all the marks lined up. put a timing gun on it and see if its in spec. if alls that is good then check the ignitor in the distributor, a bad ignitor will cause a engine to misfire

The problem you describe sounds a lot like fuel starvation Change the fuel filter reff to the shop manual for locations on the car there are normally 2 filters one by the gas tank under the car and one mounted on the fire wall. Always change both at the same time.
