The timing belt also gets it's power from the crankshaft. It runs the cams. Do you have the 4cyl or V6? I have the I4 2.0L and the timing belt can be viewed under the plastic cover on the left side of the engine. If it broke, your cams stopped moving, but the engine didn't. That would have some valves in the open position with a cylinder head bashing against it. This would bend a valve. Very bad. You would need a head job. Highly recommend replace the valves, valve guides, and have the head machined (could be a good time for some mods :-0).
How many miles?
