There is a noise that sounds like it is coming from the Timing case in 1998 Sunfire GT what could it be?

I think this engine uses a timing chain, but I am not 100% positive. Regardless, the noise you are hearing is either a timing chain that is loose or a belt. I would suspect that the timing chain is loose. Have this looked at ASAP.
It could also be the timing tensioner also.

What does a ticking sound which increases in frequency with increase in speed coming from the engine mean?
It sounds like the engine timing. The sound is coming from your engine valves. They're not in synch with the rest of your engine. It could also be that the valves are worn out. I'd check the timing first, then the seating on the valves.

Yes, you could. Is it a good idea? Probably not. If the tensioner is worn so must be the chain.

Check Timing First Sounds Like That Is Your Problem. If it turns out to not be the ignition timing, it could also be the camshaft timing. If your camshaft is mistimed it means that your timing chain or timing belt has slipped and must be replaced.

Sounds like maybe the timing belt/timing chain broke or jumped. If it will not run at all, I'd guess broke.

depends on where the "squeaky sounds" are coming from. something could be loose, such as a hinge or something. if it screams like a banshee, then its the alternator belt, or the alternator itself. it all just depends on where its coming from

How do you know if your car has jumped timing?
You will know if your car has jumped timing by the way it starts up. If the engine is slow and sluggish, it could be a sign of jumped timing. Also listen out for strange noises coming from the engine or if it backfires, it is likely that there has been a change in the timing sequence.
