If all this is occurring after the timing belt replacement, I would suspect that. If it was not installed properly and is not on timing, you will get misfires and engine problems like you described. I would bring it to a pro to make sure the timing belt is on timing and not off a tooth or more. This is an interference motor so I would check on that before any damage occurs.
