if you didn't set the timing right, you could be 180 degrees out. Did you align the marks on the cams with the top of the head a TDC on the COMRPESSION stroke?

Lucky for you that the protege motor is not a 'contact' engine. What engine is in it? the 1.6 or the 1.8L? Sounds like you have the timing belt on wrong. Also make sure that the timing teeth on the crank pulley have not been damaged or bent at all.
