Not to stir up the evil spirits or anything, but if the problem isn't
ignition and fuel in the intake didn't make it just go "vroom - putt putt" I
am worried about the timing belt. If you pull the crank through all four
cylinders (CCW, remember) do they all feel like solid compression and they
spring past TDC, or does one or more feel soft? Of course, the real test of
belt timing is to turn the crank to #1 TDC and look at the position of the
cam sprocket(s).

It sure sounds like a jumped belt to me.
