problem after changing timing belt

Hey guys, just got the timing belt changed on f22 in a 94 lude at a very reputable shop, now the cars running 'hard' and feels stressed, like its running tight. the shop can't find anything wrong but they know that its not something they can figure out unless you drive the car everyday. hard to explain but at 3000 rpms, it feels like somethings going to snap. not hesitation or stumbling, just feels stressed like the engine isn't spinning freely as it was prior to the timing belt change. obviously checked the belt, valves, and timing but can't find anything out of wack; the plugs, plug wires, fuel filter, air filter, o2 sensor, all new. the car's totally stock by the way - any suggestions? thanks

take it to the honda dealership and have them check ur timing and double check to make sure the tensioner isn't to tight.

figured it out - timing was off the last time cams were put in so dizzy timing was set wrong to compensate. now the cam timing was set right but timing at distributor wasn't - its all good now.
