If everything was fine before the new belt was fitted then the most obvious answer is that the timing belt has been fitted incorrectly and the timing is wrong.

1999 Chrysler Cirrus not firing what could be causing this It just had a new timing belt put on?
has the engine run since new timing belt put on? if not whoever did the work, didnt get the timing right.
If you have a 1993 ford escort lx wagon and timing belt broke while driving would there be any damage to motor?
It's possible. There are only 2 ways to find out: 1. disassemble the engine and inspect for damage. 2. Put a new timing belt on and see if you have good compression across all cylinders. If you do, you probably didn't cause damage when the timing belt broke. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Put on the timing belt. The car will run fine or really poorly. It will be obvious if you have any bent or stuck valves. Y-THINK-Y
What is the problem if the timing belt isn't moving?
if the timing belt is not moving when engine is cranking,it means you have broken a cam,or a belt pulley.do not keep cranking as you can damage other parts of the engine such as the valves
93 Ranger 23L has poor acceleration and little power after having timing belt replaced could the pushrods have been bent when the belt snapped?
Run a compression test. If only one cylinder has low compression, it's probably a damaged valve or pushrod. If the compression is low in all cylinders the cam is probably not timed correctly.
Why does car turn over then stops like its jammed just had new timing belt?
If a new timing belt was installed but the valve timing does not correspond with the pistons ie: the valves opening as the pistons reaching top dead centre ,,then it will be jamming.. bending valves and possibly damaging pistons.. when fitting a new timing belt or chain you have to be very careful of cam/valve position in respect of the pistons
No compression after changing timing belt?
The most common cause for no compression after a timing belt change is improper timing. Make sure that tdc is set correctly, and is not 180 degrees out of sync.
What is it when a 2000 Chrysler Cirrus has no compression is caused by a sensor?
Usually no compression is a mechanical failure. Probably the timing belt, May also have bent valves.Usually no compression is a mechanical failure. Probably the timing belt, May also have bent valves.
Why No compression 3.0 Chrysler?
Check for a broken timing belt.
Why is there no compression in 2.7 liter eng.?
Timing belt is bad.
What if your 05 corsa has had new timing belt new cylinder and valves but still no compression in number one cylinder?
Check the Piston Ring.
Why their is no compression in engine when you try to star?
Usually that is a sign of a broken timing belt or timing chain.
I have no compression on a 92 Ford Escort 1.9L?
If you have no compression in all 4 cylinders your timing belt is broke.
Symptoms of a bad timing belt 95 neon?
No start, no compression.
Why would a 96 Sebring crank but act like it has no compression when the timing belt is ok?
Maybe it has no compression--take compression test
You change the timing belt on a 1999 ford xlt and the truck still won't start?
Check the compression. If compression is down you may have put the timing belt on wrong. If it's down for only one or two cylinders, your engine may have damaged itself when the old timing belt gave out.
Toyota Camry 2004 low compression all cylinders?
timing belt
If the timing belt broke in a 1994 Mazda protege 1.8 sohc do the pistons hit the valves?
They can. The only way to know for certain is to put a new belt on and run a compression test. If one or more cylinders don't build compression after you've properly installed a new timing belt, the piston kissed a valve. BTW, it doesn't take much to bend a valve beyond being usable.
