It sounds like the engine is in limp mode, I would service the throttle bore and make sure the air intake system has no leaks. Also, we should run the codes as well, this guide can help:
We should double check the timing belt timing as well here are the marks in the images below. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

I assume the engine ran okay before the job was done. Do you have all of the ground wires back on the engine? The upper cam gear alignment hole is at 12 o'clock, correct?
