Does the starter turn over the timing chain?

The starter turns the flywheel at the back of the engine. When the flywheel turns the whole engine turns. The timing chain is on the other end at the front of the engine. It is connected to the crankshaft and camshaft (s). So indirectly yes it does. If the whole engine is turned but the timing chain doesn't, there is a problem. Probably a broken timing chain.

How do you know if the timing jumped in your 1998 Chevy s-10?

Not sure what engine you have but it is highly unlikely the timing would jump being that it is driven by a chain. If it was to jump it probably wouldn't start and possibly backfire in the attempt to start.

It will buck, choke & backfire but as long as you don't persist (shut it off right away) it should be o/k. Set the timing properly (15BTDC), firing order is 142536, # 1 cylinder is passenger rear. On any engine, the possibilities are, break a timing chain, bent a rod, backfire.
