How can I tell if my Tacoma has jumped time?

Went out this morning to crank my tacoma,it was spinning faster than normal,just didn't sound right.It started to crank,then it back fired out the exhaust.I unhooked my fuel line from the filter and turn the motor,so it's not the fuel pump.

 

Here is a visual for the 5vz-fe.
Since it’s a belt, it won’t be a “bad” as the 2nd Gens.

If it sounds like its free wheeling with no compression sound then you probably broke a timing belt, assuming its a 3.4.

 

If it is the 3.4 pull the upper timing cover and look.

No need to remove the upper hose just slide the clamp front

 

It's a 2.7liter,it has 230,000 on it.I have had it since 186,000,as far as I know never had one out on it.

 

It checked the fuel pump yesterday,its working.

 

The 2.7L has a chain not a belt, so unless you've been hearing some rattle for a while, the most likely reason it would have jumped is if the tensioner broke or came out.

If the chain was really loose, the tensioner could have come all the way out of it's mounting point, but you should hear some new noises as it would likely be getting into the gears.

Have you been hearing any abnormal noises leading up to this event?

 

No,I think it is fuel related.It started having a rough idle recently.I have changed both fuel filters,put 93 octane in it.In gear I've noticed the idle would slowly get lower and lower and I would have to tap the gas to keep it running.

 

What would it be if it is getting to much fuel?I pulled several of plugs out and turned the motor over,the plugs are firing but soaked with fuel.I got 4 new plugs and put in it,same result.Time to get it towed to shop.

 

Does this 2.7 liter have a coil dont see one?.I replaced rotor,cap,plugs and wires.

 

For a split second I thought you meant like Doc's DeLorean.

 

Maybe the fuel pump isn't making enough pressure. Enough to come out of the lunge but not enough to run the engine

 

I was really hoping to post a picture of a flux capacitor.

 

Does my motor have a fuel pressure regulator? 2.7 liter,no coil pack
