I was changing my timing belt. After removing the timing belt I went inside for a few minutes and when I came back out my oldest step son was under the car turning the crank with a ratchet and socket. The crank was rotated a little bit while the timing belt was off. I had to turn the distributor a lot just to get it started, and it is not running very good. If anyone knows how I can fix this please help.

don't you just hate it when others come along and mess up your progress? Anyway, I'd reset the distributor timing back to where it was originally. You're going to have to take the timing belt back off and realign all the marks. For the crank gear, there should be a notch mark and a mark on the oil pump for #1 cylinder reference. The same should be on the cam gear. Once you have that all back together, then slap on your belt; make sure your belt is on very tight, if not, it'll jump time. Also make sure your tensioner isn't weak, if it is, replace it.
