check for spark....check for vacuum leaks....check the ground cable. mainly sounds like a vacuum problem, check ALL hoses. is it a 1.8L or a 2.0L? you could have a differential pressure regulator problem too.

make sure that when cylinder 1 is at top dead center that the distributor rotor is at the no 1 plug wire, also could you have possibly gotten the fuel lines (return and feed) backwards?

it is a 1.8 and the timing is fine

Had the little prob with the intake boot not being seated correctly, major vacuum leak.

safe to assume you used assembly lube, and poured some oil over the camshaft before replacing the valve cover? newly rebuilt engines will run like poo for a while until the oil circulates around even if you got everything else right. Has been been running for a couple minutes already or did you shut it off as soon as it ran badly?
Anyway, double check the vacuum lines and yeah, the intake boot. Listen to what the noises are instead of just noticing it sounds bad. Each component bad sound is a different part complaining. break it down.
