Re: need some help
Well since you obviously had to remove the belt and reinstall it, is your crank and camgear set appropriately to one another? If so, and if I'm reading this correctly, the car is driveable but won't idle? Have you timed the distributor appropriately?
If everything else is fine to this point, I guess my first instinct would be to inspect the IACV (or EACV it's called sometimes).

Re: need some help
Ok you might need to refresh my memory, the IACV has something inside that is threaded? If so, did you return it to it's original position?
For setting the crank along with the cam, first set the crank to top dead center (TDC). There should be a plastic notch (or pointer) when you look down into the engine bay that runs along the plastic timing belt cover and points sort of at the main pulley. On the main pulley, you should see timing marks, a set of three together (one red stripe/notch between two white ones), on either side of your alternator belt slot. If/when you see these keep rotating counter clockwise until you see a single white notch and line that up to the pointer on the timing cover. Then take a look at your cam gear. There's two notches that should be level with the head like this:
If the crank is properly set at TDC and the cam isn't, you need to adjust the belt accordingly (may be easier said than done). Sorry for the vague explanation of the marks for the crank, I don't have a picture of that handy.
