    I would say there is almost no way it jumped time, the chain would have to very loose, in order to jump time. The more likely scenario is there is a sensor that did not get plugged in. The crank sensor would be the first sensor I would check. It sits on the back of the block near the transmission output shaft for the passenger side. If it is plugged in then I would check for pinched wires.
