Also, I'd start put it in the smallest chainring, release all tension on the adjuster nut and start from scratch. This way you can at least check the limit screw. Then pull the cable with your hand all the way to the big ring and set that limit screw. Then you can start to add tension to the cable itself. When you're chain line is off, your front derailleur won't work nicely, that's what I'd check next. From the middle chain ring to the center of your seat tube, you should be around 45mm.
