ok they just scanned it.
these are the codes:

P1340 definition ckp/cmp sensor signals out of sequence

explanation
timing belt jumped

probable causes

1-Failed cmp or ckp sensor
2-Poor electrical connection



P1392 definition Cmp sensor bank 2 open circuit/short to positive

explanation
open or short circuit codition

probable cause

1- Failed CMP sensor



^^OK they gave me two codes ^^^

thanks

And you didn't bend any valves? You got lucky! Change the belt, tensioners, and water pump while your at it.

I just have to replace the camshaft sensor, for now I just cleaned it using electronic cleaner. Now the check engine light is gone and the car start and runs normal.:-) Im not sure, probably is permanent and I have to change the sensor eventually.

Thanks for the help buddy

Wait so, the belt jumped or it was just a bad sensor...?

It's just a bad sensor I guess. (the camshaft sensor)
After I cleaned the connector the car starts and runs normal. I haven't changed the sensor yet since the cleaning did the trick.
I only cleaned one camshaft connector, I know there are two, but I couldn't find the other one on the passager's side. Do you know where it could be?

the passenger side one is on the front of the head behind the timming belt covers. take the plactic cover off the p/s valve cover look straight down where the black metal cover for the timming belt bolts to the head facing twards the power steering pump and you will see the plug.
