Sounds like you got a gear for a V6, They have multiple marks, you line the chains marks up with either the Intake or exhaust mark, and the 3rd mark points at a place on the engine block.
Just use the old gear if you can, they rarely go bad.
Hi ,1st I would make sure the timing marks are lined up,if they are your most likely fine,if not get a new timming chain,line up the cam and crank timmind marks install the chain and start it ,if the m,arks stay lined up and runs ok your set.I'ts cheap and easy to do for just the price of a timming chain.See ya,Don
Timing Chain and Gears REMOVAL & INSTALLATION 2.2L Engine
Fig. 1: The timing marks on the sprockets should be in alignment. If not, turn the crankshaft until the marks are aligned
Fig. 2: The timing chain tensioner is retained by a Torx head bolt (1) and a regular hex head bolt (2)
Fig. 3: Unfasten the camshaft sprocket bolt
Fig. 4: Remove the camshaft sprocket and the timing chain at the same time . . .
Fig. 5: . . . then remove the tensioner assembly
Fig. 6: Compress the tensioner spring and insert a cotter pin or nail in the hole provided to hold the tensioner in position
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the front cover as previously detailed.
Place the No. 1 piston at TDC of the compression stroke so that the marks on the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets are in alignment (see illustration).
Loosen the timing chain tensioner nut as far as possible without actually removing it.
Remove the camshaft sprocket bolts and remove the sprocket and chain together. If the sprocket does not slide from the camshaft easily, a light blow with a soft mallet at the lower edge of the sprocket will dislodge it.
Using a suitable gear puller, remove the crankshaft sprocket.
To install:
Press the crankshaft sprocket back onto the crankshaft.
Install the timing chain over the camshaft sprocket and then around the crankshaft sprocket. Make sure that the marks on the two sprockets are in alignment (see illustration). Lubricate the thrust surface with Molykote® or its equivalent.
Align the dowel in the camshaft with the dowel hole in the sprocket and then install the sprocket onto the camshaft. Use the mounting bolts to draw the sprocket onto the camshaft and then tighten to 66-68 ft. lbs. (91-95 Nm).
Lubricate the timing chain with clean engine oil. Tighten the chain tensioner.
Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.

Something is obviously not proper in the timing case.
Pick up a Chilton's manual,which should give you all the info needed,to rectify your situation. Good luck.
