    How can you tell on a '91 Accord if the timing belt jumped a tooth. The car
    just died. I don't think it broke the belt.

    You can see the camshaft if you take of the oil filler cap. If the belt
    broke, the cam will not spin when cranking the engine. As far as where it
    is in time... you will need to remove the top timing cover.

    On my 1988 626 I had the TB replaced once, The new belt was installed - one
    tooth off timing . Idle speed went unnoticeable, but on the road, there was
    no power ! Would take twice as much time to accel than before. Was very
    noticeable , specially on a 110 Hp 4 banger.
    I suppose some valves were just a bit open when they should have been
    closed, and the other way around. No need to say after 2 blocks I u-turned
    back to the garage!
