There's so many issues that can cause a multiple misfire. What I did to fix mine was change the spark plugs and that tripped a more specific code a few weeks later. The new code was related to the MAP sensor and, foolishly, after the part came I noticed that the hose that goes to it was completely cracked. That was the only issue. The car has run great since. Maybe a hose broke while you were handling everything.

Fixing one issue may certainly reveal another. The issue may be unrelated to the timing belt, I'm no expert though.

Good luck!
