Need more info, make and model of car and engine. I assume you are talking about the tensioner pulley and not the cam pulley. if you broke the cam pulley you have a bigger problem then a timing belt issue. I assume you installed the properly so that the timing was correct? The cam shaft and crank shaft must be in proper time for the engine to run (start). If you have a interference engine you may have done a lot of damage to the valves and pistons.
 
year make and model would really help. some engines are "interference engines" this means when the timing belt beaks it will allow the pistons to hit and bend the valves which will require the cylinder head to be removed an the bent valves replaced. If it is not one of these engines then you probably did not align the timing marks properly. consult a repair manual for your make and model to determine proper valve timing
 
Please , take apart and try timing it again. Only put the vibration damper back on until you are sure it runs. Then go to dayco.com, they have a good Reference chart to tell if you smacked your valves with your pistons
