Okay my car won't start, I just finished putting everything back together and went to go start her up, it cranks up, then i hear a few fart pops coming back from the muffler and she dies. I just don't get it, I had the crank set at "0" and the cam gear matchmarks at the correct spots pointing up, then I put the timing belt on so I'm 95% sure I installed it correctly. I'll double check on that tomorrow since it got too cold out now. Any body have any other ideas on what it could be?

you set the car to tdc with all marks lined up then remove the belt and put the new one on, all marks should be lined up. If you removed the belt then turned the cams your cps is now out of phase. You will have to remove the top cover only, rotate the crank untill all marks are lined up then remove the cps and reinstall per tsrm. After car starts and warms up reset the timing
Yes, it very possibly could have been put back in wrong. I would reset the timing marks and set the cps per tsrm like quake said. After completing this I bet it fires right up.
