Jason, your motor, if working properly, should start, idle and drive at
low rpms with no problem.  It could be timing, electrical, fuel, air or
any number of things.  Do you have the Bentley manual for your car? 
Even if you have work done by a mechanic, you'd be surprised what you
can figure out by following the troubleshooting proceedures. Did the car
run good with the old timing belt on?  If so, your mechanic may have got
the wrong tooth on the cam sprocket.
