2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser 4 cyl Automatic

I had to change the water pump on my car 2 months ago, as you know I had to take off the timing belt to do so. Now I am having problems with the idle being to high and it spits and sputters all the time I recently changed the spark plugs and wires and plug 1 had oil on it. I know that is not good. I am sure the timing is right. I also replaced the cam sensor that helped alittle because it doesnt die when it sits anymore. So any suggestions on what to do now. Or any other sensors that could be replaced to fix the problem. I am ready to have it sent back to the dealer. Thank you
