Default Timing belt?

i have a 1991 ford tempo that starts great and runs great as long as your not giving it too much gas and you have to feather the throttle. I am thinking it could be the timing belt and was wondering if any one else had the same problem or any suggestions. also how hard is it to change the timing belt and how would i do it.
