Welcome to 2CarPros.
Here are the tensioner spring specs:
TIMING BELT TENSIONER
Tension Spring:
Free Length. 46.0 mm (1.811 inch)
Installed Tension:
At 50.5 mm (1.988 inch). 32 - 37 N (7.2 - 8.3 lbs.)
__________________________________
The only thing I can think of is the belt isn't tight enough, there is some type of interference causing the cam to stop, or if you are turning the crank counter clockwise, this can happen.
You should only turn it clockwise
I am going to provide the directions for belt install for you to review. See if there is anything you have done differently that may be causing the issue. The attached pictures correlate with the directions.

HINT:
When re-using timing belt: Align the points marked during removal, and install the belt with the arrow pointing in the direction of engine revolution.
Pic 10
6. Install timing belt guide.
Install the guide, facing the cup side outward.
Pic 11
7. Install No.1 timing belt cover.
A. Check that the timing belt cover gasket has no cracks or peeling, etc.
If the gasket has cracks or peeling, etc, replace it using these steps:
1) Using a screwdriver and gasket scraper, remove all the old gasket material.
2) Thoroughly clean all components to remove all the loose material.
3) Remove the backing paper from a new gasket and install the gasket evenly to the part of the timing belt cover shaded black in the illustration.
4) After installing the gasket, press down on it so that the adhesive firmly sticks to the timing belt cover.
Pic 12
b. Install the timing belt cover with the 4 bolts.
C. Install the clamp of the crankshaft position sensor wire to the timing belt cover.
