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

If the timing chain broke on a 97 Chevy S-10 4 cylinder how do you know if the valve has bent and what does it cost to replace the timing chain?
I'm having that done now(98 S10). $380 to replace the chain. If they have to pull the oil pan to remove broken pieces, it will be $805. When they get it back together, they will do a compression test to see if any valves are bent. Don't know what it will cost to fix that.
How do you know when your timing chain has broke in a 1998 Pontiac grand prix 3.8?
It will be a timing belt not a chain. The engine will turn over much faster, pull one spark plug wire off a plug and stick a Phillips screwdriver in it and hold the shaft next to the plug and check for a spark. If there isn't one, it is most likely the timing belt. Hold the handle of the screwdriver so you don't get shocked.
How to you make a call with using blue tooth?
Dont know find out your self
Show you the timing wheels how it sets?
All motors are different, need to know the make ,year and what size motor to tell where to set the timing.
When should you replace a timing belt on a Chevy Classic?
Are you the original owner? If so, the owners manual will tell you in the maintenance schedule section. If this car is equipped with a V6, then 100,000 mi is probably the suggested interval to change the belt.
