Your timing sounds like it's out of sync. Has the timing belt been serviced at all? If so, was it set properly? It may be that the belt skipped a few teeth on the gear or if the belt is fine the cap and rotor you just replaced is not positioned correctly.

If you are going to do this diy, I would strongly suggest watching as many YouTube videos as you possibly can for your year and make. There are some very detailed videos out there.
