is my timing belt off?

[harjms]

Ok in June i pulled the head and got it resurfaced and etc...well i put it back on with my header and i get to the timing part of it. I didn' t set the belt because i didnt know how to do it so my dad's friend did it for me.... now after driving it for a while i dont think he got it lined up correctly....now it runs and is pretty quick but if im in any gear and i staying at a constant rpm ex: 1st gear at like 3500 rpms....i can feel it jerk a little bit but for only a few seconds until i think the cam rotates again. and also my engine shakes a little bit when its idling....it just jerks everyone once in awhile just like when im driving.....plz help me....also my idle sucks.....it stalls all the time when i get off the gas....it just dies.....IAC maybe?

PLease help me

Thanks in Advance

-Check out the tech section of this forum, vfaq.com , there are instruction on how to check your timing mark and your idle problem.

I don't know what you suspect goes on inside an engine, but that's not it.

Well i know thats not just it....im just saying....as in an example as when it rotates....

if there was something wrong with your timing belt your car would have a hard time starting, idle'ing, exceleratting ect. if your dieing out while driving sounds very odd but i doubt its your timing belt. Change it or fix it see what happens but like i said that dont sound like the problem.
