Have you done a timing belt job before and are all your electrical connections reconnected?

The camshaft has a pin that keys it to the pulley. If that is missing it will be out of time.

If you took the distributor off, it is possible to put it back on wrong.

Take distributor off, turn engine by hand until cam pulley marks at TDC, Check that the crank is also at TDC. The slot in the end of the cam that drives the distributor should be straight up and down (relative to the head), and the groove facing the front of the car. Now notice that there is a matching groove in the distributor drive dog. Turn that also to the front of the car and put distributor on. If you take the cap off the rotor should point at wire 1. The other wires are 1-3-4-2 going around clockwise looking at the outside of the cap.
