Can anyone give me some pointers?
I just changed the timing belt on a 99 GS Spyder with a 2.4
I triple checked all marks. They all line up. Its set TDC at Cyl1 and i am pretty sure its at compression stroke.
Ill check again later today if i cant find anything else.
For the compression stroke i was told its just the cam line that should be in the right position. Is this wrong?

I made sure the oil pump is in the correct orientation. Falling towards the line and not away.

BUT at start up the engine is shaking very badly. Feels like its misfiring badly. No check engine lights and no fault codes. It starts and runs. But poorly.
Can something have went bad? Maybe the crank sensor? I have no CEL.
I also changed out the spark plugs (to iridium's), but reused the old cables. maybe a cable is bad from when I pulled them off? But I figured a real misfire would cause a check engine light or show up on the OBD2 scanner. But nada.
I am not sure what to do next. Again, i am 99% sure all timing marks are lined up correctly. I have already taken it apart and put it back together 3x. This is driving me NUTZ. Please help before I pull out all my hair. Whatever little i have left.

Here is a pic of my marks
