How much would it cost to repair a 95 Eclipse RS if the timing belt jumped a tooth and the engine turns over but won't start?

don't turn it over anymore, you could have already damaged the valves. these are interference engines(pistons can hit the valves if its out of timing). i suggest doing a compression test, but first you have to get it back in time. if you 0 on any cylinder or its extremely low, you most likely have valve damage. i have experienced this recently it sux, cost of doing it yourself ranges from 100 to 700 dollars depending on what needs to be done. Mitsubishi will charge 475 just for timing belt. if you damaged the engine, you're in a world of hurt. About $1000. Been there, done that

How do you fix the problem of jumped timing with out timing light?
Your question is too vague usually when someone says that their engine has jumped time that means that the timing chain has jumped on the timing sprockets. If that is the case you would need to change them. If the distributor is out of time to do it right you would need to have a timing light. You would need a repair manual for the specifications to fix both of them.
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.
