Did it run okay before the job? It sounds like the belt is off or you have a large vacuum leak. Do you have the air intake tube on fully? Here is a diagram so you can double check the camshaft timing:

It sounds like you found the problem make sure the spark plugs are new and the throttle bore has been serviced. Here are two guides to help:
