Default protege gone wrong

What's up guys ?
I'm Aj I'm new to the site.
First off I drive a 2000 protege with a swap engine out of a 01 protege (2.0L)

I have a major problem with my protege.
I was driving the other day and I shut off my car, a little bit later I get back in it and start it up and I started to hear a nasty knocking sound.

I brought it to my guy and he said my timing belt is deffenetly screwed. Then I found out that I'm misfiring 1,3,4.

I bought the car not knowing all these problems were going to happen.
The guy who I bought it from totally tried to make this car a race car. Lol.

When I step on the gas it sounds like its fine, but that's only sometimes. At othertimes I step on the gas and it hesatates.

So if anyone can help me ASAP that would be great.

Thanks

sounds like you just need new coil packs, wires and spark plugs
