99 Honda missing teeth on flywheel what happens?

When and if the engine stops at the point where the starter gear is aligned with the missing teeth the starter will just spin and not start the engine. Over time even if the starter turns the engine over it will eventually ruin the starter. You need to replace the flywheel and the starter immediately.


If the motor turns but car does not turn on could it be the fly wheel?

If you are saying the starter turns over but does not turn the engine over, then I would suspect a defective starter solenoid. It is possible the flywheel has a broken tooth but not likely. Remove the starter and have it tested.

Does the starter turn over the timing chain?

The starter turns the flywheel at the back of the engine. When the flywheel turns the whole engine turns. The timing chain is on the other end at the front of the engine. It is connected to the crankshaft and camshaft (s). So indirectly yes it does. If the whole engine is turned but the timing chain doesn't, there is a problem. Probably a broken timing chain.
