How do you know when your timing chain has broke in a 1998 Pontiac grand prix 3.8?

It will be a timing belt not a chain. The engine will turn over much faster, pull one spark plug wire off a plug and stick a Phillips screwdriver in it and hold the shaft next to the plug and check for a spark. If there isn't one, it is most likely the timing belt. Hold the handle of the screwdriver so you don't get shocked.
