Probably the distributor is out of time; that is, it is firing the plugs when there is no compression in the cylinders. Recheck the timing belt vs. distributor.

You clearly disconnected something. Check for spark by pulling a wire and placing it on a spare plug you then ground. Follow FAQ suggestions for diagnostics.
