I've pulled the plugs and all is fine....wires and plugs. I know it could be timing and all that crap but it's got a belt so it wouldn't just slip a notch right?

Dawn, I think you're confusing cam timing with ignition timing. Both will make your engine run poorly if they're off, but they are two separate issues.

Make sure your timing belt is in the right position with the timing mark lined up and the camshaft mark in the right position relative to the timing mark. If they are not dead on you will never get the timing right so take the timing belt off, line up the marks and put it back together. Before you start your engine, make sure your distributor is lined up correctly relative to the timing marks. Mark the #1 socket on the cap and the side of the distributor. Pop the cap. If the rotator is not pointing to the mark on the side of the distributor you need to pull it out and move it until the gear at the end of the distributor meshes with the gear on the end of the cam with the rotor pointing to the right place.

With the crank and cam marks lined up, you're at TDC of #4's compression stroke, so point the dizzy to #4.
