I'd bet on the timing belt jumping a tooth thanks to the huge jarring of the impact.

Check all the rest of your sensors and make sure everything electrical is properly plugged in and seated. If you can't get it close to normal with the timing light, then think about redoing the timing belt.

This might sound weird, but change your fuel filter before taking on the timing belt. The impact may have shaken something loose and clogged the filter, limiting flow.

Good luck and post results.
