You may have bent some valves on the head from snapping the timing belt. Do a compression test and that should tell you if you have any leaky valves. Other than that, you gotta be sure that all of your valve timing is perfect or it will run bad.

if you were on the highway you might have bent some valves, compresson check, and what do you mean adjust the timing, are you sure you have it right?
 


You definitely need to have the compression checked. If(well,it's highly likely) you bent some valves, have the valves replaced, the head decked, and get a fresh head gasket.

i remember when my belt snapped on my da9 n damn did it suck but i got really lucky that none of tha vavles were bent cause that would've been alot of money 2 get tha parts not including tha belts n when i replaced tha timing belt i replaced all my belts just to insure that all would run with no trouble n when my car started i was in so releif. It did suck on yur part being that it didnt work out as it did for me. hope u find tha valve that was messed up!
