You must have the timing marks a bit off. recheck and be sure all is ok!
The number 1 problem with changing timing belts is forgetting to pull the number on piston to top dead center before you remove the belt, and putting the new one on without disturbing the timing marks. It sounds like you may have neglected your timing marks somewhere.
This can be a huge mess to fix. You may need the assistance of a mechanic or someone who has experience with this. I'm sorry, but the chances of me being able to successfully walk you through the process is pretty grim.
If I was you, the first thing I would do now, is get your timing light (you do have one, right?) And see how far off your timing mark is. Chances are, it isn't even on the scale. If your timing mark is anywhere close to right, go back and check all of your plug wires and be sure your distributor cap is where it should be. Something may have gotten knocked out of place while you were working on the chain.
Also, does it turn over at all? If not, you should have unhooked the cables to the starter before you accessed your timing chain...go back and make sure it is hooked up properly.
If you can use a Chilton's auto manual, I'd get one for this vehicle. It can help you step by step through this tedious procedure when you are not an experienced mechanic.
Good luck.

Hi,
you need a 6 inch extension, short 3/8 ratchet, 5/8 plug socket, 3/8 swivel "u" joint, (sold at sears) 8mm 1/4 drive socket deep well and 1/4 inch ratchet.
find the coil packs (6 total, three in each head.)
remove the two retaining nuts holding each coil pack using 1/4 8mm socket and ratchet.
twist the pack to break the sticking boot below.
pull up (be careful to not rip the boots however it may still happen but rare.)
remove coil packs, the rear is a little more difficult with the intake.
use 6" extension and u joint and ratchet to remove plugs and replace.
reverse order to assemble. Good luck, and hoped this helped.

there should be a belt diagram from a label either on underside of hood or on radiator support. That should help if you can do it yourself.
SOURCE: starter replacement on acura 2000 TL 3.2
This starter can be changed without disassembling the top of the engine on the 2.5 with automatic transmission. You will need a 10mm, 14 mm, 17mm, and a 9mm wrench. First with any electrical repair disconnect the battery at the negative terminal. The starter is on the driver's side close to the firewall below the intake manifold. Remove the transmission dip stick so you don't ruin it, then look and study the starter itself. You will notice the starter drive housing with a top and bottom bolt. The top bolt is a 14mm and the bottom a 17mm, loosen both a half turn. Remove the top 14mm bolt first, then the bottom 17mm, this will allow you to pull the starter out of the bell housing. With some angling and no brackets holding the back of the starter you should be able to pull it out enough to disconnect the positive wire and 9mm nut from the soleniod. Disconnect the starter ignition small wire by pulling it off it's connector. Now just pull it out of the engine and fender void and you've got it, saving about a hundred and fifty dollars of labor. Take it to the parts house and match it up with a well made remanufactured or new starter. Reverse the proceedure, hook up the battery.

The OBDII connector is located in the center console just behind the ashtray. There is a plastic cover that must be removed and you will find the connector behind the cover.
