Signs of a poorly tuned engine: lack of power, poor idle, hard to start when cold or hot, poor gas mileage, or engine 'just doesn't feel right".

Damage? Depends on what they did, but usually it's more of an inconvience than anything else. Of course if left unchecked for a long period of time... that's another story.

AnswerAll depends on what they did wrong. not treating the wires, wrong heat range or wrong speced plug that non-platinum, single platinum or double platinum yeilds premature failure, poorer fuel economy, miss, no start, strain on ignition coil or module). Wrong threaded plugs yield cylinder head damage. If plugs were cross threaded or overtightened or broke installing can wreak all kinds of havoc. mis installation of of fuel filter could result in fire, not closing or breaking the air filter housing can give a check engine light. Mis installing certain PCV valve can give abnormal noises. The list can probably go on for quite a bit.

Timing belt broke on 91 Honda accord?

It is almost a sure thing that you have internal engine damage. This engine is an interference engine and when the belt breaks the pistons will make contact with the valves. You will have to remove the head and find out how much damage was done. The cam belt should have been replaced every 90,000 miles.
