if timing chain has skipped a tooth, the car will run like crap. you would also hear rattling coming from timing chain area as chain is loose and stretched for it to jump a tooth. more likely to have lost a tooth off one of the timing gears. also u will not be able to time the engine correctly in this condition
timing belt has nothing to do with transmission so it is possoble for you to have a timing belt it may be a timing chain also the purpose of the belt or chain is to keep the crank shaft turning in time with the cam shafts yes, the timing belt is independent of the transmission.
The vehicle has a timing chain that keeps the camshaft spinning correctly relative to the crankshaft. It also has a serpentine belt (what used to be known as fan belts) that operates the AC compressor, alternator, air pump, and water pump. Some people still call serpentine belts a timing belt even though it has no effect on engine timing. Many 4 cylinder engines use a timing belt in place of a chain. I think this is where the confusion starts.
Refer to service manual. Some timing component kits may also have a paper in box that has that info.
Timing is probably off. Set number 1 piston at TDC and check the timing marks. If applicable, also remove cap from distributer and check position of rotor, it may need adjusting for correct timing.
Timing Chain.. and it's DOHC, Double Over Head Cam or also called Twin Cam

It has a timing chain.
AnswerI 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.
One way to tell if the timing chain is broken on your Nissan Altima is to see if it will start. If it starts, it is not the timing chain. You can also remove the distributor cap, have someone step on the gas while you watch the engine. If the rotor moves, it is not the timing chain.

In a 2004 Dodge Intrepid : The 2.7 litre V6 engine has a timing CHAIN ( also , the 3.5 litre V6 engine has a timing BELT )
Remove the exhaust manifold. This lets you pull it out. Also, you have to remove the timing cover. The pump is driven by the timing chain. You have to remove the timing cover and timing chain tensioner to get the pump sprocket out of the chain.
For a total refill, the system holds 6 quarts. And it has a timing belt, not a chain. If you have 1.6 L engine, a timing belt. If the 1.8 L engine, a timing chain.
Timing BELT ( P.S. , it is also an interference engine )
It has a timing belt that also runs the water pump.
2004 Toyota Sequoia has a timing CHAIN, not belt, so I would assume that an '03 also has a chain.
