a timing belt would just SNAP and that's it... you fuct your motor. it won't cause any driveability issues till then, and usually there is no question about what it is cuz usually you'd hear the valves and pistons slap each other.

but yeah, your car just needs a tune up for now.

I paid like... $140 for everything straight from Honda, and I would NOT recommend anything other than OEM Honda parts... nothing from Crappy Tire or anything like that.
