changed timing belt. car does not work anymore..

hey,

i was wondering if you guys could help me out a little. i just changed my timing belt, bank 2 knock sensor, spark plugs on my 99 v6. the spark plugs are denso iridium.

i checked the timing. everything lines up at TDC

starting - the car starts fine.

idle - the car does not idle. it dies. it sounds like one of those big muscle cars that have that weird idle.

revving above idle - with a little bit of throttle, the revs jump up. it wont die if i keep it at anything above 1.5krpm. it doesnt seem to be smooth.

afr - the afr stays around 14.7 for around 10-15 seconds then goes lean.

cel - there are no CEL

i dont think its the timing since it all lines up at TDC. how can i tell if its the spark plugs ? could it be anything else ? i didnt really do anything else besides the timing belt, knock sensor, and spark plugs

thanks a lot guys,
d
