I just replace my timming belt. But when I start the car it start and run for few sec. And dies. And when I step on the gas pedal nothing happens. And when the car dies it sounds like its choking. What do you think.

It ran before you replaced the belt correct? Assuming this is a 2.4, these are a walk in the park. You set the engine to TDC before removing the belt, then after you tensioned the new belt, you turned the crankshaft 2 turns by hand then re-verified your marks?

Also, did you change the balance shaft belt behind the t. Belt? Thats most likely where your issue is.
