Yesterday while I was looking at my engine. I notice that my power steering belt was wobbling. I cut the car off. took a wrench out and tried to see if it was loose. Well when I turned the power steering belt my timing belt also moved. I stopped immediately becuase I thought I might of threw off the timing. When I starting driving again, I feel a lost of power, plus it was puttering. Its sick! I need help. Is it my timing, if so how do i fix the problem.

since i’m not certian of what you drive or what mods you have i could be wrong, but i think you’re timing belt is covered. You wouldn’t have moved it by messing with your powersteering belt.

Yeah, unless your timing belt was really loose, that should’t happen…  
but take off your valve cover and check your timing belt tension (take off the timing belt cover as well).
