Default Jumped Timing

How can a car all of a sudden jump its timing? Could it be from aggressive driving?
Thanks

What model year is your Integra?
Also, how many miles?

First thing that comes to mind is a worn timing belt. h:
Pop the valve cover and end covers off and inspect the belt & tensioner.

The replacement interval for the timing belt is 95,000 miles or every 6 years, whichever comes first.
Also, you do NOT want the belt to fail while the motor is running. :noes:

Could be the tensioner wasn't torqued correctly, as state above, worn TB or what happend to me...
A little rock flew in there and chew it up a bit to where it was 3/4 ripped and jumped a teeth.

On that note.. guys put back your upper timing cover, no matter how sexy those useless cam gears look.
