[hockeyplyr24]

alright..so a few months ago i figured i'd blown my engine..the car died on me..and i had the mindset i threw a rod or a bearing or something..today i got curious..charged the battery and started it up..and the engine is making a ticking noise..which is close to what it was in the first place..then i figured..could it possibly be a timing belt? idk..then i have a hill driveway..and i was goin up it..and it was like..slipping..but i know the clutch is good bc its only 10k miles on it...any1 have any idea?? im open to anything and everything..thank ya

If you blew the motor, you will have oil leaking, or oil eating problems. Easy way to check to see if it's the timing belt is to simply pull off the cover and look to see if it's broke or whatever. If you think it could have jumped time, just check it with a timing light. Shouldn't be too hard to figure. I hope you didn't blow the motor. Oh, I don't think the 5sfe or 7afe will run if you break the timing belt due to some kind of safety system on the motors.
