It could be from a timing issue. However, most times it is caused by a loose, damaged, or disconnected vacuum hose that happened when the belt was replaced.

HOW IS THE POWER, DOES IT WANT TO KEEPING RUNNING AFTER YOU SHUT IT OFF/A ROUGH IDLE WOULD BE A GOOD INDICATION THAT IT'S A TOOTH OFF. BUT IT COULD ALSO BE THAT SOMETHING WAS LEFT OFF OR NOT PLUGED IN CORRECTLY.
