If the timing belt/chain broke, it wouldn't run at all.

lol..Thanks. well we checked the oil and it was over like a quart. We did an oil change and added some lucas and it hasnīt missed a beat. Also the fuel gauge was sticking so we cleaned the sending unit and drain the fuel, the gas was starting to go bad. thanks for all the help and suggestions.
