OK, I guess I was confused, because I used to set the timing on my cars, but I was at my mechanic today and asking him about that timing belt "1 tooth off" thing, and he explained that it was cam timing, not ignition timing, which is set by the computer. Now come to think of it, this Teal car, which had the timing belt changed by the dealership before we bought it from them, is also making a little grinding sound internally when I accelerate too hard. Didn't think it was anything to worry about - I've never driven a Civic before this, BUT in light of this possibility, now I'm wondering if it is off by 1 tooth?

How can that be checked and fixed, if need be? Is it costly?
