Was the engine running before you replaced the timing belt??

Start by verifying the static engine timing... Philip

Perform a compression test and post the numbers...

All sparks out, Fuel/ignition cut, throttle wide open, crank until gauge peaks.... Philip

Instead of guessing, why don't we confirm the engine integrity first... Philip
