I kept up all the scheduled maintenance and the car has been great and never had a bit of problems with it. A week ago I had my timing belt, water pump and crank case seals all replaced. Since that time the car has been idling rough and the exhaust seems noticeably nosier.
I've taken back to the shop and they say everything is fine, but I know this car and this is definitely a new symptom.
Is this normal when you change any of these items, or is there an area I should be looking into that may be the cause?
Thanks!

No this is not normal. It sounds like either the TPS was moved or damaged or they installed your belt one tooth off. It could be that the whole thing is off or jsut one cam shaft. I would ask them you check it, check it yourself or paysomeone else to check it. All you have to do is remove the cover ( I know its a pain in the ass) and count teeth.
One other thought I just had.... when I did mine last time I mistakenly left off a big vaccuum hose and it ran like crap until I got that back on.... check that out first.
