If the timing belt is loose it's possible it jumped couple of teeth and started misfiring, now it might have jumped couple more and therefore not start at all. If it jumps too much it can end in serious engine damage. At this point I would at least get cambelt covers off and check cambelt for tension and tensioner damper for operation before attempting to start engine again.
