Hello pamgolmon: My name is Roger and i will answer your question. The 2-0 dual cam engine is a interference engine. This means if the engine jumps time at the timing belt. It will bend the valves. As for the timing marks on the camshafts. Their are no marks to be located. To set the timing marks on this engine requires special tools. This makes it expensive for not only the do it yourself mechanic but also the repair shops also. If the valves were bent you must pull the head for the repairs also.
I know this is not the answer you were hoping for but it is the only answer to give. Please rate the quality of the answer as this way we know your answer was correct. Please just ask if you need further help. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

Question makes no sense Try again Have to find vacuum leaks with different test methods When you do, that come back with where the leak is

find directions below

Disconnect your air mass sensor. It monitors the cleanlyness of your air filter. Test drive the car. If the symptoms went away, replace your air flow sensor assembly. It's pretty pricy, about $80. You can drive your car with the air flow sensor quick harness disconnected until you can afford to buy the sensor.

Pull the codes. Start from there. Could be the crank sensor, coils, or the engine is just old and tired.

Could be a worn or rough crankshaft surface.

Being ripped off is slang for Fraud,which is a crime,when you take money& do not provide any serviceSo you not being ripped offSounds like you have a coolant system problemAn electrical problemA transmission problem& several other problemsGet rid of it

92 octane would do the trick

Check for vacuum leaks, And check around throttle body. To find a leak around throttle body, Start vehicle and spray carb cleaner around the tb. Especially around the gaskets. If engine flairs up, then thats your problem area.

Buy one from salvage and replace it. Most are easy to pull off, often held in place by 3 medium sized screws. Also buy a new resistor pack for the heater circuit. About $10 or $15. That should give you back all speeds on the blower. To find it, just follow the wire from the blower connector back towards the blower switch. It should be close to the blower motor and under the dash, and screwed into the heater case where it can be cooled by air blowing through the heater case.

With out seeing it its not simple to answer. Maybe if not sure drop in at your local mechanic here are a few photos Hope it helps.

Is the transmission for REAL locked in "Park"? You may need to pull apart the steering column to verify the interlock linkage between the shifter lever and the key cylinder.

Should be in the fuse box in the engine compartment.

If the speedometer works but the odometer does not, the problem is inside the speedometer. Probably a stripped gear.

depends on the quality but around 150 lbs would pull it up

timing needs to be set at TDC. ( Top dead center) need to take out your number one spark plug and manually rotate engine ( the way it turns when running) when your piston is at top, That's where your timing mark is to fire on the first cylender. Good luck.........

This is because of the problem with the clutch. So you better consult a technician to fix it up

Are plug wires connected in the right firing order to the plugs? Also are the spark plugs gap correct? Was vehicle running rough before tune up or only after?
