it could have a rough idle, knocking or pinging, sputtering, smell strong like gas, etc. careful when you line up timing, it's best to only have to do it once.

How do you set timing on a 1996 Oldsmobile bravada?
YOU don't set the timing on a 96, its all computer controlled. If your timing is off then you have a problem somewhere else. So if you timing is truly off then what needs to be fixed is whats causing it to be off. The computer sets the timing based on feedback that it gets from different sensors on and around the motor. And secondly i don't understand how you could even know if the timing was off in that car. But my advice is, if you know the timing is off and its not throwing any trouble codes, take it to a dealer.

How do you know if your Mitsubishi Galant jumped time?
A Galant has timing belts, normally the belts break if they have not been serviced. As for as jumping time they belt may stretch causing it to run bad or not to run at all. Pull the cover off of the timing belt and check the timing using the timing marks. If they are off your car is out of time.
Can a bad exhaust or not warming up your car throw your timing belt off?
NO! This has no effect on the timing belt.
