Just replaced timing belt. I followed instructions on the manual and I also made sure that I was on tdc. When I started the car it sounded good then when I drove it its like loosing power and the car has no acceleration.

Did you turn engine over by hand a few times and recheck alignment? Sometimes you think you got it but due to the tenisioner and how belt was routed they get off a few teeth and she don't have no get up. Also did you check to see if any valves may have been bent can.T recall if this is an interference engine ore not. Let us know
