Timing chains rotate, much like that of a bicycle. It would make a loud clanking sound. Now it may have "jumped" off its position or may be worn out.
or get a compression test,plus you'll know the car won't start likely it's the timing chain causing it.
Chain.
In a 2000 Oldsmobile Alero : Both the 2.4 litre four cylinder engine and the 3.4 litre V6 engine have a timing CHAIN
To replace the timing chain on a 2.4L olds Alero you need to remove many parts. The parts that need to be removed are the drain coolant, the alternator, the air conditioning compressor, the water pump, and the harmonic balance. Once these parts are removed, you will need an engine hoist to lift the engine.

I need to know where the timing chain is located in a 1988 Olds 98 regency brougham, and how expensive a timing chain is.
The time chain is located under the timing chain cover, which is behind the fan and under the water pump.
the van either has a chain or a gear to gear timing system. GM did not us belts in that engine
