To add to what college said, I have found that MAP/MAF whatever air density/pressure sensor you have can be the problem in a situation like this.
An alternative solution to the recommendation above for getting under the car:

This will run you $30 to $50 if I remember correctly. If you have a place to store them, they are amazing for all low cars. You can use them for virtually everything that’s not suspension work.

Of course, you should verify the problem is in fact jumped timing. You could probably do this with a timing gun, or just turn the engine over by hand and try to observe your highest compression is at a point other than TDC.
Of course, we cannot make this conclusion for your specific problem. This is just one of many possibilities.
Any ideas on what else it could be? I literally have none other “worn starter/weak battery,” which I am not sure would make sense and would not cause the no no-start/no-run issue. However, I guess it could cause the starter pushing on the crankshaft weakly?
Oh, and obviously, I take this for what it is – “advice on the internet,” by no means do I expect any sort of guarantee. Still, it’s nice to have, since I don’t know any mechanics personally.
As far as setting the engine to TDC – I am reluctant to do that unless I have to, because I have to lift the engine a bit, and I don’t have an engine hoist / lift available. It’s doable, I would just like to cross out as much as possible before actually doing it.
Ty yet again.

jumped timing.
Haha, that was quick, and what I was afraid of.
So, I am pretty much looking at a new timing belt? A few questions:
1. If the valves were making out with the piston heads, I would hear it, right? Is there any way to verify that this isn’t happening, or it should be taken as a given, judging by the lack of noise?
2. I am not sure what these are called – but the “output gears” on the camshaft/crankshaft (what the TB rides on) – any chance these need to be changed? If so, are they easy to change out?Thank you in advance.
