If a timing chain broke, the engine wouldn't run and a compression test would read "0".
Symptoms of a worn timing chain are some or all of these:Rough idle.Backfiring, bucking, or sputtering.A rattling noise from the chain.Engine may not start.
Timing chains are designed to last the life of the engine. If one was to break the engine would cease to run. A compression test would read "0".
The timing is set electronically. The only manual adjustment is to align the timing marks when replacing the timing belt. If you suspect you have a timing problem, you should consult a qualified technician to diagnose it for you.

Have the timing checked. Actually, do yourself a favor and have a full diagnostic done.
