Default Can Any1 Help Please Car Won Start

<U>Problem</U>
Car starts up then shuts right off. It back fires when ever i attempt to startt it it would run for a few seconds then shut completly off. Sometime smoke comes from the throttle body after it shuts off
<U>I've Have </U>
-change Distibutor (because when i applied gas i lost complete spark)
-change Spark Plugs/Wires (because thought it might fix the no spark
-change Fuel Filter (because gasline was leaking out)
Today i started my car it ran perfectly at idle as soon as i went to drive it started messing up. Now it wont even start it just comes on makes a huge backfire noise then shut off.
help me please if any have any ideas or theory to fix this problem of mine
my car is basicly stock LS Motor,Intake,Test Pipe,No Resortor,

My old EG hatch had an LS swap in it, and one day I pulled onto the small highway near my house and it had started to sprinkle... As I got straight, I hit 2nd and spun the tires and just let em light up (it was fun) and then all the sudden my motor made a bang and backfired and I lost all power and the motor would hardly run... Luckily I was like 1000ft from my house so I limped back... Pedal to the floor and I was going like 7 mph

The timing belt had jumped a tooth... That is what I would look at first!! Im not exactly sure how to check, but I would assume if you line up the timing marks on the crank as well as cam gears, ALL to top dead center (TDC), you would notice that something didn't line up... Maybe someone else can chime in..
