if timing chain has skipped a tooth, the car will run like crap. you would also hear rattling coming from timing chain area as chain is loose and stretched for it to jump a tooth. more likely to have lost a tooth off one of the timing gears. also u will not be able to time the engine correctly in this condition

How many teeth does 1986 Chevy Celebrity 4 cylinderer have on timing belt?

It uses a timing chain and sprockets. I don't know how many links are in the chain. It doesn't normally break like a timing belt does, but it does wear out and can cause timing problems. If it is allowed to wear far enough it can jump a tooth and that usually stops the engine from being able to run.

What is the timing chain replacement interval on a 2001 Chevy 5.3 V8?

The timing chain has no regularly scheduled time or mileage for replacement. It will normally last the life of the engine. They are routinely replaced when a complete overhaul is done. You will know if it needs service. It will become noisy, and your engine may not run correctly if it jumps a tooth.
