The cam gears have a "key" that fits into a slot on the cam. It is highly unlikely that you can get the gear in the wrong position.
Here are things that I would check:
1. Valve adjustment
2. Distributor advance
3. Spark plug wires connected properly on distributor, and to the CORRECT spark plug (I've missed this before - DOH!!)
4. Timing
5. Cam/crankshaft timing aligned (belt is on properly.)
6. No oil/water around the spark plugs (will keep it from running at low rpm usually.)
7. Is your ECU throwing any codes?
I've done head gasket, timing belt, plus all the other stuff along with them, replacements -- on a B20Z, and a B16?, in the past 6 months.

Subject: CRX: timing...now it's REALLY not running...
Ok, after being told today by a fellow rex'er, that I was using the
wrong cylinder as #1 on my '94 B18B LS engine,(I was using the one next
to the distributor, and was told that it was the wrong one, and instead
to use the one next to the cam gears) I came home, ripped everything
apart again, and changed over to TDC on the other cylinder, and
re-aligned my cam gears to "up". Well, the car went from running
shitty, to barely able to run. Before, I would have to pump the
be-jesus out of it to get the rpms to start to increase. Now I can't
get it above 200RPM! And I've tried setting the timing across the
board. Still no improvement.
PLEASE some one with either a B16 or B18 tell me what the HELL is going
on with this thing.
One more time verify that the #1 cylinder is the one on the driver's
side of the car, instead of the passenger's side.
Another question is: Can the cam gears get mis-aligned on the cam
shafts? How are they attached, other than the bolt...
