If this is how you've been timing your belts up all this time I think you should not be doing car mechanics. This is 1000% where your problem lies, due to it never actually being timed up.... with any timing pins.... when your tighten the belt its just pulling your cam and/or pump out, so your a tooth out on your cam causing your horrendous misfire/inability to rev properly - you need to put the pins in again...
/facepalm
Ofcourse I locked the pulleys when i done the belt; I was referring in Darren's post about locking the pulleys when I checked the timing as you can see in the first video

You need to be 1000% it's completely TIGHT and it's not stressing the pins.
As Dave said, looks like the cam is retarded.
What's the easiest way to fix this? Cambelt again!
